TIA. > What country are you posting from? In the UK, the V6 was withdrawn from April 99 until the start of the 2000 MY, but this was due to high demand in the US leading to a shortage of engines.

However, many Saab aficionados consider the V6 to be an inferior engine to the 2.3t, and feel that the 9-5 Aero will be a nicer car. -- Regards Leroy Curtis Please replace "nospam" with "baram" in my address if you wish to reply by Email
