Indeed so.

My 9000 is the only model they made in recent decades not to have that feature > AIUI.



AFAIK that series isn't a full-blooded Viking family. Didn't they design
and produce those in a joint effort with Renault and another manufacturer?

The basic bodyshell is shared with several Italian models (Fiat, Alfa and Lancia). It was
a Guigiaro design. Mechanically it has nothing in common with those cars.

The later CD and CS models were quite different to look at from the Italian cars though.
Even to this day it's considered one of the best Saabs ever, the other contender being the
'original' 900.
