1. Belts in the back because that is where the pulleys are??
2. Dyslexic design engineer at Saab?
3. In order to locate the engine and the drive train in a position to have the axles in the most favorable position for front wheel drive, and to use the space most efficiently, the "front" is in the back. I would rather struggle to change the belts than to pull the engine to change the clutch. HMMMM. Good luck
