I know...I'll use up my quota of thoughts for the day.
I guess I would be inclined to brag about a car if I had designed or built it, but simply having the money to plunk down for something - how does that reflect well on me?
Their thread mentioned a magazine comment, attributed to R&T: Saab opens the door to BMW performance but doesn't come in", or something like that. Actually, that was the latest edition of Automobile magazine. They tested the 170 hp 9-3SS and complained that it wasn't as fast as the 210 hp model they had tested earlier, downrated it for this, then picked as their #2 car out of 10 one that had pretty much identical acceleration.
I guess what I'm getting at is that car evaluations are so subjective, and we all choose our vehicles to meet our needs. If your choice is made purely on performance grounds (whether based on accurate assessment or not), I guess that would tell you what your needs are. Me, I need to haul plywood home and want my family to survive whatever crash we might have, as well as having something with some zip. My '91 9kt does all those things.
