While we were waiting to take delivery of our 2003 Linear, we were given a 2003 Arc to use. I wasn't impressed. One of the main reasons we bought the Saab was to get a large car with a manual transmission, which is pretty rare these days. I thought our 5 speed Linear was much more fun to drive and just as fast, if not faster than the Arc with automatic. If I had wanted an automatic, then the Arc might have been a better choice, but it competes with lots of other V6/automatic vehicles out there. The 2.3/5 speed combination is amazingly smooth (and quick). And, it reminds us of our 1975 99LE, just a lot faster and much more refined.
