Some interesting observations, thanks. This month's Road & Track has a concept illustration of the new 9-3, and some further comment on the 1.6L BMW engine and the "Phoenix chassis (sourced from where?). I agree that volume is the key issue: I very much want Saab to succeed. Not sure I'm nuts about the design in the illustration, which applies 9-5 styling to the 9-3, and I continue to believe a 1.6L engine will not provide the smooth, torquey power I'll be looking for.
One of my great driving pleasures is the uniqueness of the Saab design. But I just added a BMW Z4 to my garage, and realized I'd forgotten how well these cars drive and are executed.
We're all pulling for you, Spyker management, but we need an efficient, attracive, well powered, competitively priced tour de force in the next 9-3 if we're all going to drink the Kool-Aid again.
