I owned a 1987 Lancia Thema (the other Italian sibling) Is was a nice car. Now I own a 1995 9000CS.
The familiarities in the design and body parts (doors, mirrors, overall line) are undeniable. The SAAB however feels much heavier and more solid. Both are good cars. However I see a lot more 9000's around then Themas. And the SAABs depreciate less....
