Speculation on 9-7 powertrain?

Anyone know what powertrain options will come with the 9-7? The Saab website says there will be two engine choices. That could mean the same two engines used on the other TrailBlazer type vehicles (4.2 inline six and 5.3 V8), and the same 4 speed automatic. What I would like to see, and what would make me give the 9-7 a serious look, is a turbo version of the six, a six speed manual transmission option, and a state of the art all wheel drive system. I realize that's not likely, but Saabs are supposed to be different, aren't they?
I sure hope they don't screw this up. Unlike some on this board, I agree with Saab's decision to offer an all wheel drive SUV-type vehicle, as long as it's done right (like Volvo XC90 and VW Touraeg, to name two).
