All: I just got off the phone with the owner of my local SAAB dealer checking on the status of the 9-5 V6 that I have on order. He actually told me to wait and change my order to the 2000 model year (I know this may sound strange but I have been buying from him for the last 15 years). He basically gave me a run down on what changes will occur in each model up to the 2000 model year. Here's the basic run down: 9-3: All turbo will go from the 185HP to 200HP in Oct 98' The SVO model will have approx 225HP and will be available in Spring 99. 9-5 The 200HP V6 should arrive in the U.S. no later than Sept 98. The Wagon and a Full Turbo V6 (approx 250HP) will arrive in spring 99. I guess I'll wait for either the SVO 9-3 or the Full Turbo 9-5. Regards John Yuen
