Saturday's edition of the Toronto Star had a review of the 2003 9>3. Generally positive, but somewhat disconcerting to find that the engine is the GM global 4 cylinder as in L Saturn but turboed. Why they would not use the engine that has proven reliable to Saabers is a mystery to me. Part of the GM globalization I guess where many componets are being shared across a wide variety of vehicles; i.e. same platform on the 9>3 and Chev Malibu. Well, at least they have retained the "quirky" ignition key placement. I am not sure that Saab's intention of going after BMW 3, MB C and Audi 4 customers will prove sucessful with this engine configuration regarless of the 9>3's stunning appearance. 2000 9>5 2.3 LPT
