Although the base model in Europe is called 1.8t. Yes, I've seen the same mistake in UK sunday newspapers. It will be very confusing. Perhaps Saab planned an 1.8 with the same power, but didn't get it ready in time? Or they rationalised that a common 2.0 was simpler? The same game is played by BMW; is the engine of a BMW 318 a 1.8, 1.9 or 2.0 ? - take a pick. There will be no clues on the car. Johannes
