It's true that the price from 1994 is about the same. I had a 1990 900 3 door non-turbo with a sticker price of $16,995, I think, which would mean that the price did increase.
GM has no choice. If it priced the car too high, nobody would buy it. Right now, the 9-3 is about the same price as an Acura TSX and quite a bit cheaper than a BMW 3 series. It's always been less than a BMW even 25 years ago. It's usually been a tad less than the Volvo S60/240/DL series.
On the other hand, the US model lacks a locking gas door. It was removed to probably save $2-5.
GM would really deserve credit if it still has Saab in 15 years and keeps the design philosophy instead of making it a rebadged Opel Vectra.
