Brett, I have a 1989 Turbo S - mine has leather trim (seats, steering wheel and gear knob & gaiter), walnut dash, Aero body kit (wheels and side skirts), and roll kit, "sports" clutch, twin pipe exhaust and a whale-fin spoiler (longer than the simple rubber spoiler). Oddly enough, my Turbo S is an 8V B201 engine, so S cannot refer to the engine capacity ... I understand that "S" refers to "Sport", or "Special", rather than "SPG" which is definately a description of performance ... "SE" on the modern UK Saabs refers to the trim, not the performance or engine spec. I think the idea was that Saab's "S" models were kind of top of the range goodness an style, like the Audo Quattro Coupe S model? The convertable "S" had all the gubbins - leather, Aero kit, handling modifications, etc. I think "S" means you just get a stack of extra pleasantries with the car. I saw something on www.nospam in the history sections detailing what you should get with an "S" model, but can't find it now I'm looking ... (they've changed their site layout ... :P) A possible help, from a UK Saaber ... Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/ :) Orca if the Turbo S
