Not sure where you got this idea from... Although the autobox will keep the engine rpms relatively low, the turbocharged SAAB 4 cylinder engines have excellent low rpm torque. That is (was) the entire design goal for these engines according to SAAB. While I do agree that the fun factor is increased dramatically by having a manual transmission, and generally prefer one in my cars, an automatic (for those who need one) matched to these engines is fine. -Fred W '00 9-3SE Cv (5 speed) '93 9000CSET (auto)
