The SAAB 4 cylinder has evolved from a Triumph/Recaro Engineering developed engine used in the 67/68 SAAB 99. It was stated at the time to be derived from a Coventry Climax racing engine. When SAAB merged with Scania (a Swedish truck and bus firm at the time) they did major improvements to the engine and it has been improved ever since. The V6 is GM/OPEL/Vauxhall derived and does not have the proven history of the SAAB 4. I have a 99 9-5SE with 2.3lpt. I have driven loaner V6's and could not see why one would want or desire that engine unless more hp needed for large loads or towing.
