The 125 hp Saab Diesel is only a 2001-year version of the 9-3 TiD. There is not much new in it actually. But what is a NEW Saab Diesel is The 9-5 3,0 TiD! I wrote about it even here some weeks ago here. I repeat the facts again: - 3,0 V6 Common rail turbo diesel for both 9-5 sedan and wagon! - a totally new V6 developed together with GM-partner Isuzu - development of the engine electronics and control of the turbo charger have been developed by Saab. - The engine is very compact to fit well a front wheel drive car. - The performance will be great! 170 hp is already good but 350 NM torque is excellent! The 3,0 TiD will have performance that can be compared with the 9-5 Aero! - The 3,0 TiD will be available next year, that means next autumn, when 2002-models arrive! So it is a diesel but it still seems to be a Saab!!! Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
