Actually, from what I hear from the owner of the local Saab/Volvo dealership,
Saab IS going to offer AWD versions of their WHOLE vehicle line. He told me
that in the next two years it will take place.

Recently a Saab master mechanic (Ywan Mason) posted to the list about the long life of Saab
timing chains, he posted that he had never replaced one. I would definitely get a second opinion.
Furthermore, if Camelback's service department is anything like their sales and finance department,
I'd steer away from them. I purchased my 9-5 wagon from them and had a miserable experience.
Granted that buying a car from out of
state is complex, more than a dozen unreturned phone calls and a 3 MONTH delay in the paperwork
necessary to title my car was completely unacceptable.
As long as I'm ranting... I'm also thoroughly disappointed with Saab customer service. I still
have an outstanding warranty issue (also 3 months now) and they're not very good about returning
calls either.
It's a good thing I love my car...
