>Apple & Orange comparisons are all very well, but don't tell you anything >interesting. The A6 is IMHO a much more reasonable comparison: > >A6 2.8 30V, 200hp, 207ft-lb, weight 3560lb, price $33750 > >... and put the $3000 you saved into performance mods, quattro, etc etc The VW/Audi 30-valve 2.8L V6 is pretty weak down low. With the Tiptronic, you can do quite a bit of manual shifting which is necessary for this car. The Saab assymetric turbo should feel more powerful. But then, Audi does have an A6 4.2 with 300hp and a forthcoming A6 3.7. These would also have a more sports tuned suspension in place of the regular A6's really soft suspension. And Quattro does promise a lot better handling in combination with a stiffer suspension. Of course all that come at a cost significantly higher than what Saab can ask for.
