I think they fixed many of the turbo problems (although I think they are moving away from all V6 Turbos) --- The bigger complaint of late (and one that i had with my Audi) was the lag that is programmed into the transmission.
Another note regarding transmission lag -- this topic was also written up Edmunds (so take that for what its worth) regarding the new 9-3SS.
The article stated:
After being thoroughly impressed with the manual-shift Vector, we climbed into a base 9-3 Linear equipped with the five-speed automatic. Although the Saab's comfortable seats and excellent ride quality remained, the Linear's lethargic nature when trying to accelerate left us cold. What at first seemed like severe turbo lag from the 175-horsepower low-pressure turbo engine was quickly diagnosed as transmission lag when mashing the throttle. Under part-throttle conditions, the problem wasn't nearly as obvious, but ask for a sudden burst of acceleration, from either a dead stop or when rolling at speed, and there is an almost painful delay between when the pedal hits the floor and when the car finally bolts forward.
"continued"... take this issue as you will, but we think a brand-new totally redesigned "sport sedan" shouldn't allow you to count "one-one-thousand" between flooring it and having the drivetrain respond.
