Saab seemed to have been downplaying the "turbo" aspect of the 9-5, while at the same time advertising an "all turbo" lineup. The philosophy is that on the LPT 9-5, the turbo isn't for performance and driving fast so much as it lets them use a smaller, more fuel efficient motor, but it can still keep up with modern traffic. So the "LPT" 9-5s: the 2.0, 2.3 & 3.0 V6 didn't get the turbo gauges at the start.
Aeros always did, though.
At some point, all 9-5s got them. My 2002 V6 has one.It's pretty interesting when it goes into the "red"... whatever that means...
