I would give the same report...

This is a high RPM car, like most Japanesse cars. I bet you can get a 6.1 time if you were shifting fully at redline. On my dealer test drive obviously I wasn't doing that (plus it only had 39 miles on it).
I thought the handling was excellent and it jumps off the line, but the lag in between gears is noticeable. The hood scoop was distracting and the car feels very narrow.
Overall though, with leather, it would be a nice package for someone looking for that type of car. The Saab asthetics definetly make it more appealing, but the interior still has a bit of the Japanesse look and feel in the controls and certainly the shifter.
