> V6 is in question. The V6 was so unreliable that Saab stopped making
this powerplant!

Have you seen the V6 engines they are putting in the 9-5's?
Duh. The 3.0 V6 LPT is quite pokey!!

Actually the V6 is very reliable if it is serviced correctly,
something apparently US customers were unable to fathom
as a requirement or US dealers were able to cope with.

Although there was an engineering change on something important
e.g. belt/pulley/tensioner between 94 and 95 V6's. They mentioned
it when they did my cam belt.
