you are absolutely right. simple business. need to steal market share of new car buyers, not used... imho the targets would be Subie, Volvo, Audi... lots of old time Saab owners defected there, and iirc, Subaru outsells Saab, Volvo, and Audi combined!
Subie owners I know don't test drive anything else!! decent enough cars, but compared to Saab or Audi... ok Audis cost more, but around here, the real purchase price of an Outback vs a 9-3X is very comparable (especially when similarly equipped)... I can't imagine how anyone could drive the 2 cars back to back and buy the Subie (and I've done long drives in a bunch of Subies (many thousands of miles), and I really wanted to like them, so it's not a matter of me not trying them)...
btw, NoSnaab, this is not meant as a slight at you, I know you are one of the defects to Subie though not entirely by choice, and I appreciate your advice wrt them... I merely think there is significant buyer personality overlap, feature overlap, and price overlap, at least in our local market that Saab should target - it's insane! if Saab nabbed 10-20% of Subie sales here, they'd be set!
