You know how if you're stopped at a light and clean the windshield, the washer fluid sprays, the wipers cycle, and then there's some drips of washer fluid at the top of the wiped area that then drips down the windshield so you have to manually trigger the wipers again? My old Saab had a delay built in to the call for wiper fluid so that it would automatically sweep the wipers a few seconds to get those last drips. It was but one of many thoughtful design elements.

Saabs had a character that was unique; regardless of how one felt personally about driving one, the auto world is poorer place without Saab.

Saab had those rims long before Tesla did.

I could be totally wrong, but I believe this Saab doesn't really have anything to do with the Saab of old, besides the name and reusing an old design.

Likely homage to their aerospace origins.

The upkeep on them (parts, repairs) is quite expensive compared to your average japanese auto.
