Mmhmm, and what happens when one of these torquey cars comes along and catches you in a high gear...you have to drop three gears just to keep up, while the Jag just pulls from the mid revs and doesn't have to wind his engine to the redline. And at high speeds any four-banger is no match for a big engine with lots of torque. The Saab would pull TO 120 mph. A Jag or Audi would pull THROUGH 120 mph. > > > A $40K+ 4-banger that will out brake every car in it's class. What exactly is its class? Well if you just mean every four-banger, then I'm sure that an S2000 would out-brake it. > > > A $40K+ 4-banger that will match and/or out corner a Porsche Boxter. > (Personally proved it.) Your front-engine, front-drive, narrow-tired, unbalanced swedish piece of shit couldn't touch the Boxster's .92 g. > > > A $40K+ 4-banger that has better mpg than most cars in its class. Again, what is its class? A Metro, like the Saab, is a 2-door, front-engine, front-drive car which gets 60+ mpg. > > > A $40K+ 4-banger that will fit 3 full-sized golf bags in the trunk.
