Hardly worth bothering about? HP isn't everything! The new 9-3 2.0T with 200 hp and 209lbft does 60mph in about 6.5 seconds. Imagine what 25 more hp and about 50+ more lbft of torque at just 2,100 rpm will do. modified front end to reduce torque steer. Lowered sport chassis. Deeply contoured front sports seats (finally). With front wheel drive, it'll never match the M3; however, it'll provide similar performance, plus all the traditional Saab values -- versatility, safety and and a little bit of individuality. BTW, it looks very hot... Perfect for Saab loyalists who have been waiting for an heir to the SPG.
