mostly water over the dam at this point, but one usually measures cars and their merits or drawbacks against other and/or competing vehicles. The Saab DIC well doesn't quite cut the mustard from a reliability standpoint - think solid state components and coils sitting atop a hot engine and being subjected to daily wide swings in temps - reason why computer rooms maintain stable temps for reliability. Capacitive discharge systems were tried by some other mfgs and abandoned because of reliability drawbacks - you can buy them if you wish but they don't sit atop the hot engine.
Somewhat counter intuitive what the Saab engineers decided to do, but later versions in the 9-3 I think used more standard inductive ignition system .
