Aside from the safety issues he is not that far off base if one considers only the last 20 years or so. SAAB stopped major innovation a long time ago, way before GM bought it
Yes, my 9-5 is a lot more entertaining to drive than my wife's V-70, but to compare it to a 5 series or an E class as many on this board do is ludicrous. What it is is a good compromise - nowhere near the driver's car that BMW is nor offering the luxury of an E class Merc, but it costs less, a lot less. This is especially true when it comes to wagons, which is what I have.
U.S. and Asian manufacturers have abandoned those of us who prefer wagons, only the European manufacturers still sell them here. Had I been able to buy an E class or 5 series wagon new for $33K (what I paid for my new 2006 9-5) I would not be driving a SAAB, frankly.
