But, what is changing is that the 900S will be disappearing. Starting with the 9-3, all Saab models will be turbocharged - the base model will have an light-pressure turbo (LPT). In all seriousness, I would either wait for the 9-3, or investigate lease pricing on the 900 Turbo S, which may actually be less than the 900S in some areas, and probably not much more worst-case. -Justin
