No one has submitted a rating or Consumer Review either (link at the top). It's on the chopping block in mid-2007 - better go buy one since it's going to be a rare bird.

Are the forums not as active as they have been in the past? It seems to me that there are less posts than there used to be. Either that or the topics that I track have lost some enthusiasm.

Nope, still going strong. Maybe you just follow the orphan cars, lol.
Some of your perception may be because SUV sales are down so new owners posting in SUVs may be down. The buzz is around the new Civic and lots of folks are talking about whether GM will go banko. The Hybrid Vehicles discussions are really hot too.
Everything goes in cycles.

Perhaps it and the 9-2X will be collectables someday... The only Saabs that looked SO much like thier counterparts.

I bought my Saab after waiting for a year and passing on the Jeep GC (which I could have gotten at dealer price). I THOUGHT it would be a GREAT CAR. WAS I wrong!. This car has been a bomb from the beginning. First my father was the project engineer on the F-14 from it's inception So much for born from aircraft engineers.. he hates it. you should hear his comments. I bought it for it's supposed sportiness, but I can get my 77 merc 280 sl convert to 80 without a glance and feel safe. This thing can barely hit 65 without me feeling like I'm pushing a tank...and all at an ave. 11.5 a gallon.. oh and 14.3mpg on a long haul hwy drive. FORGET the cargo space of 80 cubic INCHES which is another reason I bought it... it doesn't even fold down flat and the headrests are in the way. and that extra cup holder must have been designed by the the son of the owner or head designer because no competent designer would have allowed it. Mine broke in 48 hours. And there is NO room for anything like change or a large cup in the cup holder when the car is in park. In fact there is NO flat surface anywhere for change or glasses or your phone or well.... anything... do not try to work from this car... no place for your computer. And folks check with the dealer on a regular basis. He MIGHT tell you of all the recalls and problems, because this is the eqivilant of Bill Gate's version of a new version of Window's and then waiting to see what patches will be necessary and so far there have been many including finding my car swamped after a particularly heavy rain...with the rain on the INSIDE, which no one at SAAB said was possible until the dealer received a fax saying... OH BY THE WAY..... and there were more....yup...Bomb....and no way to get out of it..I can't afford to loose the money by trading it in so soon, so I am STUCK....I didn't wasn't to post this to let any potential sucker I might want to sell it to to know what a bomb he would be inheriting but hey the truth is the truth, so I am warning any potential buyers to BEWARE. I hate this car...my jaguar was a dream car compared to this THING.. and don't get me started on the dealership!

Bummer. You can be the first to rate this vehicle, if you want to warn those who don't visit the forums. The link is at the top of the posts.
Hope next year is a better one for you and the 9-7x.

Bummer. Perhaps your car is a lemon and that you might try pursuing a buyback from GM through Lemon Law.
Keep in mind this isn't a real Saab and that it is assembled with it's GMT360 counterparts in Moraine, Ohio.

Maybe. But like many collectables, will need to go through heavy depreciation first.

True. But if you can take the hit short term in return for the pride of having a rare automobile in the long term, it may be worth it. (or if you have lots of cash to dispose of and want to get something)
