Well the latest Car & Driver states that SAAB's are still quirky. As for safety ratings, maybe (repeat MAYBE) SAAB in the 90's slipped compared to the competitors though accident stsistics show SAAB still a safe vehicle. And why is it that more SAAB's sell in the US now than 15 years ago. The mistake of the NG900 was that it was rushed to market, but wasn't that the story about the original 9000? Regrettably, the days of independent car makers are gone - butthen do you really want a Nash Rambler - and we have to take products from conglomerates whether it be cars, TV's or clothing. And who is to blame? All of us for wanting more for less. If you abd your friends had paid , say, $50-60,000 for yur SAAB 15 years ago, then SAAB may have made a reasonable profit and been able to stay independent. The killer in teh car market is overheads - the more cars you sell the less overheads factor in the price. ANd overheads include design costs which don't vay much if you make 500 cars, 10,000 cars 250,000 cars or 1 million cars *which is why Honda and VW are cheaper than SAAB)
