Rude for me to lecture SAAB salesmen at a new dealer?

A new dealer opened by me, the previously sold Buicks. We had them show us the 9-5.
When he showed us the car he mentioned features ABS, auto climate, sunroof, etc. Now, the avg shopper for SAAB is also looking at Volvo, BMW, etc. The features he mentioned are par for this class. To sell a SAAB to the average person (people like you and I know all about them already), the salesman has to highlight special SAAB features that you can only get on a SAAB. Active Head Restraints, Ventilated Seats, Night Panel, etc...and he's gotta mention TURBO. Otherwise, why would someone choose SAAB over competitors?
Another major error they made is saying "you don't want the 9-3, its a hatchback so it doesn't have much cargo room". The hatch with a lot of cargo room is one of the 9-3's selling points! (for a few more months anyway)
Would it rude for me to make these suggestions to them? I mean, I really want them to do well and flourish. To sell a SAAB to the average consumer they'd need to take my advice. What do you think?
