Balance shaft 4 thinks it's a V8.....

I personally prefer the feel of the balance shaft 4 to the V6 in the 9-5. The V6 has a stacatto and intake roar. The turbo also eliminates almost all of the intake roar and puts the torque down low where you drive. Much less shifting necessary with a turbo four as commented on by R&T in the 11 way sedan test in the July issue.
By comparison many 5 liter V8's don't have the horsepower and torque of a Saab 4 cylinder turbo.
