Discouraging. Is this the tip of the iceberg?

I see waht may be my back-ordered part du jour, the evaporator for a 9-5, scheduled for "2011." This is not exactly confidence inspiring. I wonder how many other parts are out there seeking suppliers with no ETA in sight.
I don't know if this is a GM caused problem, Spyker not getting its act together in a timely manner, suppliers not being proactive, or (as I suspect) a combination of the three. But if not corrected soon it could be quite a problem, especially for current 9-5 and 9-3SS/SC owners.
If this doesn't get corrected it will drive up used parts costs and word will get out that Saab parts are hard to come by and that will affect sales of new and used cars.
I've owned imported cars almost exclusively since 1968 and only once or twice waited more than a few days for a part. This is kinda discouraging.
