Linear - Entry Level but standard equipment knocks the socks off BMW etc. Arc - Luxury Spec - Lots of toys. Aero - High Performance, this car will accelerate 40-60 faster than a Porche 911! > I think it was mentioned to me by someone that the Aero is > not a true Saab engine, and that I should consider staying away from that. Emmmm... no. The Aero engine is absa-fragging-loutly SAAB. 2.3 Litres plus Turbo with a capital T to give 250bhp. You're probably thinking of the 3.0l V6 in the Arc that some Saab traditionalists see as a GM unit. > Any advice ? I live in Central NJ and drive under 10,000 miles per year.

All three variants have their strengths, I'd test drive all three to see which gives you the most satisfaction per dollar. Regards, Iain
