Night and day difference between the V6 offered in the 900 versus the V6 in the 9-5. With the 900, ithe 2.5L V6 was basically an engine lifted from GM Europe's Opel/Vauxhall division with little to no modifications. The 3.0L V6 is similar to that found in the previous Caddy Catera, but had some modified internals, not to mention the asymmetric turbo addition.
I am not a fan of the current V6 (power output is too low for me-even compared to other similarly sized V6s) -however, I would not be completely opposed to owning one. I supppose if or when SAAB migrates the V6 engine to an Aero version, the dust from this debate may finally settle. Maybe not.
