IMHO the reason is both simple and sad.
The Pike's Peak car has AWD, without which I don't think it would have had those wins and records.
And if Saab featured that car in its commercials, it could be considered false advertising because one of the primary features of the car (AWD) is something that you cannot buy in a Saab showroom.
FWIW, Audi has had years and years of rally successes with Quattro. In recent years, Saab was not really a contender until someone implemented Audi's idea on the Saab! I've got 2 Audis sitting in my driveway and I can tell you that those cars would not be there if Saab would get off thier a** and provide a good drive system to go with all that horsepower they're dishing out! Geez, at the very least give us an LSD or something. Traction control is ok in the snow but is a poor solution for a performance car.
