Its hardly a Saab road tax, applies to all makes and in no way goes to the roads. Its just a tax revenue for the government.

£15 a month for my 1.9tid vector sport was paying £240 a year for my bmw 330d 
Mrs Renault Magan diesel is £30 a year
Every manufacturer is in the same boat from 2006 onwards for engines that are judged in the high CO brackets so it isnt just a Saab problem.
You pays your money and makes your choice.
The resale values of these vehicles are also depressed so the choice is to keep soldiering on with much older cars or bite the bullet.
I recently purchased an MY08 9-5 Aero Auto as a bit of a project and it will cost me £490 a year versus £285 for my earlier 2001 .........not happy but thats the way it is.........another way to look at it is that it costs an extra £20 a month to drive a car that I really want.
It wont be long before our wonderful politicians start hammering diesels on tax because of egg on face polution issues........but I doubt they will remember to reduce the taxation on petrol engines at the same time
