I'm sure we'll see that again with these 1.8 NA engines. Nope! The problem is, that Saab hasn't had their hands on the engine at all. It's a 100% Opel-engine, mounted directly into the car, as it comes from R¸sselsheim. So you'll get a great handling car, but with the poor engine-quality of an Opel. Just as well as Opel puts a 100% Saab engine into the Vectra (the forementioned 175 Bhp turbo). Cheers!
