SAAB featured in CNN website article?

CNN's website Sci-Tech section has an interesting article concerning daignosic fault codes and the ability of local indies to service cars. Seems that manufacturers don't want to release the meaning of the codes to protect their service business, thus all the indie can say is "take it to a dealer - I don't know what this means".
Manufacturer's defense is fault codes are sometimes related to security sytems and releasing the codes would compromise the antitheft systems, any thief could apprentice in an indie and learn to defeat alarms and lockouts. So they give out the emissions related codes and nothing more. Maybe this is why Bentley does not want to do/can't do comprehensive manuals anymore.
Interesting thing is the car in the picture appears to be a classic 900 convertible, judging by door panel, steering wheel and headrests, which should probably not be the example used for the article - reference was to late model highend cars. (If the picture was of a classic 900 three door, it would be easier to tell by the drooping headliner!)
