1) Fiat is back. There's no reason, with appropriate funding, that a new 9-3 can't be pushed out the door + be successful. We have seen the reaction to the leaked image + quite frankly, that could easily be a car to convince me to buy new (or more likely lease if a first model year)... Saab enthusiasts are generally excited about that car/image + many non-saab car enthusiasts think it looks cool + sporty also.
2) I didn't mean to seem overly negative about the Kia... was mainly pointing out a few things that I've noticed that might be helpful to be aware of... I do wish the best of luck!
Personally, though I would not have wished this before, now I would love to see Saab bought out by a major euro brand (eg the one they have an engine contract with) + allowed to flourish in Trollhatten as a niche product + a R+D center, in a way similar to Mini... probably won't happen, but we'll see... we haven't heard the VM "Final Plan B" yet + I suspect there is one... honestly something like that sounds better to me than the Y/P deals, especially the latest...
