The 9-3 Aero AWD MSRP is 44K. For that price, they will not sell many.
Ok ok ok, Saabs sell way below MSRP. The avg. Joe Public has no clue about that and when on the interent at night "building hi car from auto site", he has no clue Saab tries to give them away.
First advice: DROP the MSRP to a number that is reality!!
Heck, only 600 of the Turbo X were made yet I can still find, in about three to five clicks of the mouse, at least 6-7 for Sale. At these prices there is no demand. Heck they are for sale with 10-12K off of MSRP and still cant sell. I love the Turbo X but for that kind of money I would go to 3 Series AWD or a 09 A4 AWD. As does at least 99% of the population.
Saab/GM need to sell more cars. Period. Drop the prices, make it more affordable to the Camry, Accord, Maxima crowd. Heck, it has to be lower than those guys for people to even walk in a showroom.
This should no longer be though of a lux brand because its just is not. The excuse that Saabs are quirky and unique is far too old.
It should be about survival.
Sorry for the rant...
