These cars are pretty evenly matched. Horsepower is greater for the Audi - 250-230, but the torque is the same at 258 at about the same rpms and the Audi weighs slightly more. The Audi beats the 9-5 handily 0-60, but has only a slight margin at the 1/4 mile. The Aero has a higher top speed. I don't know, but given these numbers I would suspect that the Aero has a broader torque curve, so is probably a slightly better performer at highway speeds.
I think the point here is that the Audi guys view Saabs as inferior machines, and that just isn't true. They shouldn't be surprised if they get shown up by a Saab, or anything else for that matter. One of the things that is so enjoyable about SaabNet is that the people here are usually fair and objective when it comes to other makes.
