Still awaiting my local dealer to land some 9-7s for my ultimate verdict, but I just cannot get excited about what is basically a GM rear-wheel drive pick-up.
Like I've said before, I'm shocked at how backward the "AWD" system is, biased as it is to full-time RWD, in contrast to the Volvo SUV which is biased to FWD. (And forget about the Subie's drivetrain -- THAT's AWD if you ask me.)
Maybe GM's software and solenoids have it all set up right and the FWD kicks in exacty when you want it to, but I'm reserving judgment until I drive one in some slippery bits.
Out.
'01 9-3 SE AKA the car that has given more 5-series owners rides to work than I care to count.
