That's understandable :) > What's the difference between the two cars? The Saab 9000 was available in 5 basic flavours - 2.0 litre low pressure turbo (LPT) 2.3 litre LPT 2.0 litre Full pressure trubo (FPT) 2.3 litre FPT 2.3 litre FPT Aero (Hot) If you like fast cars, hold out for a 2.3 FPT or Aero. If you like to cover a lot of miles in comfort go for the LPT's. The LPT's or "eco-power" models have turbos, but use them mainly to help efficiency so they get slightly better mpg. I used to have the 2.0 CS LPT. Recently got an Aero & the difference is incredible. The LPT covered 0-60 in around 10 secs, my Aero does it in just over 6.0 so I find it a lot more fun to drive :) IMHO
