We exchange the door step lights for the Saab 9000

Entry lights, would have sounded suspiciously like luxury and was not with the thinking of the Folkhemmet (Volksheim) coined Swedes generation compatible. Hence the door security lights.
Incidentally, Lancia, Fiat and Alfa Romeo, which together with the Saab formed the Tipo 4 project, stood by the touch of luxury. But that was also Italy, where things appear in a flattering light when taken less seriously.
