I think it's due to the small production volumes of the Viggen, high development costs that are being put into future mainstream products, and potentially the need to develop something with more power than a 2.3 turbo could ever put out while being reliable. The last one is a pure guess on my part, but it takes time and money to develop a new engine, and a 2.3 4-cylinder just doesn't sound as appealing as the engines from other low-volume German products even though the performance may be on par with those.
I hope you're right about the '07 Viggen though! From the rumours that I've seen floating around this board, it sounds like it will be a great machine.
Cheers,
Mark
