Yes, I know quite well the 3rd gear boost in the Aero and Viggen after having test driven both in the past 2 weeks. My big test of a car's acceleration is the freeway onramp test. In the Viggen I also found the 3 to 4 shift was very impressive and the car just seemed to want to pull and pull and pull. That test drove put the Viggen on my short list. Now I believe the ads that Saab used to have, "People who test drive a Saab usually end up buying one" JJ > >My 9-3 Viggen easily accomodates my snowboard bag which is quite large, and >won't fit through most standard pass-through arm-rests.
