What I was really looking for was how this rear spoiler below actually worked, or didn't.

This Saab 900 Turbo Aero Is A Piece Of Sweden’s Eden

Quote:
...........the rare “Aero” label designates, among some other touches, a more aggressive aerodynamics package that included those bodacious 3-spoke wheels that are now synonymous with Saab’s styling. The kit was comprised of the aforementioned skirting and lowered air dams which were developed with the aid of wind tunnel technology, so the next time someone asks you how effective your blocky Swedish polygon is at pushing through the air, you can quote whichever made up drag coefficient you want—as long as you also mention “wind tunnel” no one will question you on its atmospheric slicing abilities.
I've seen the same rear spoiler on the convertible version as well if I recall correctly.
