Saab loses out to Audi?

I came out of a store on Saturday to find a 9-3 convertible parked next to my Aero wagon. The roof was down and sitting on the passenger seat was a brochure for the new A4 convertible. As I was getting ready to pull out, the owner of the convertible showed up and I asked him if he was trading in his Saab for an Audi. He looked a bit confused at first, then he realized that I must have seen the brochure in his car.
He said that his lease was almost up, and he was tired of getting screwed around by the Saab mechanics. He didn't think it was worth the hassle for "a car" He mentioned that the A4 convertible wasn't available yet (it will be soon) and he hadn't made any final decisions. Does anyone know when the new 9-3 will show up in convertible form? How will it stack up against the A4.
I can only agree with him regarding the Saab techs- I've only had bad luck so far. Saab is going to have to do more than introduce a more mainstream body style to retain customers and gain new ones IMO.
