bb: There is more to good traction than just AWD or some limited slip technology. The most important thin you can buy for good traction is a good set of TIRES. 2nd. factor is weight distribution. 3rd factor is steering and or tire size 4th is ground clearance and center of gravity 5th the driver. then you can add in all the other complicated technology Saab focuses more on the first 4 to make a stable driving platform. and hope the driver isin't an idiot. ch Brown Bear wrote: > Most people seems to think that Saab is very good on Snow and Ice.
