Okay - below (all the way at the bottom) is the latest lease deal, copied from the Saab website. I called the dealer and made an appointment... First, can anyone look at this and tell me if it appears good or not? And also, what I should ASK when I do go.
I took the Volvo S80 out last night for a drive and thought it was a nice ride, roomy, but not enough punch. In doing a competitor comparison between the two cars I see that the Saab has HP 185@5500 rpm (the Volvo S80 HP 197@6000). Saab (4 cyl) torque, 207@1800, the Volvo (6 cyl), 207@4200. I am pretty sure I understand the difference between horsepower and torque, but could use some help. What does this really mean? And which car is more powerful?
The dimensions inside the car between both cars seems neck and neck, but I'll know better after I take a look at the 9-5.
Any input is appreciated! I am most concerned with getting ripped off (as we all are...) Thanks! (the lease info is below)
