Do you need glasses? And although the V6-engine has simmelarities (spelling), there are some significant differences. And it was CO-developed between Saab and Opel. > Why buy a Saab 9-5 for $36K when I can get the SAME CAR from Saturn, for $22K? > Why buy either one, if I know it really is an Opel Vectra?

Read the book and tell me once more that the Saturn, the Vectra AND the Saab 9-5 is the same car with diff. badges - THINK AGAIN! > I recently bought a 9-3 and I love it. It performs well.
