Saab came back with a response and said Sodertalje will stay open - only that some 2.0's will be assembled at the same german plant in which they are made (Kaiserslautern). They are making room for increased production of the Biopower engines. Unless there new news of course... RobbanTHN -

Like many of the wagons we evaluated, the lower section of the backseat flipped up to rest against the front seat. If additional length were needed, the back seat could be removed entirely — and the process is simple. It looked good. The finalists, then, were the Mercedes E-Class, the Volvo V70 and the Saab 9-5." "The 9-5 gave us the same easy loading experience as the Mercedes. Carefully closing the rear hatch, we learned that the harp would fit even without removing the rear seat. The Saab was a contender." Oh what the heck, may as well quote the good 9-5 stuff:
