Would expect the V6 turbo to have improved off the line grunt/city manners compared to the I4 turbo. Consider too that this is first generation (re: hp figures) - depending on how far back in history you want to go, the 260hp 9-5 engine traces it's lineage to a ~35hp engine made by Standard if I remember right. So, it's more complex than at first blush.
9-7, lets see what the product is like in real life before lampooning it. That, and remember it is a 'place-holder'/foot-in-the-door product and if successful may/will be replaced with a platform Saab has input on from ground up.
