They didn't outright hate it, and they said it was a big improvement over the previous. However, they said it was slow (0-60 in 7.3) and it was not much of a value from the A-4 3.0 and the BMW 330. They also said the acura and nissan were cheaper than the Saab and maybe even better. They bottom lined it as this: an OK car transformed into a good car in a field of very good cars.
Overview:
They hated the six speed manual.
They liked the seats and the interior and truck space.
They didn't like the dash, radio, screen, buttons, etc.
They didn't think the handling was all that.
They liked the hand brake (go figure).
They thought it would be a truly unique car, if it still had the hatch.
It could have been worse--they slaughtered the new Saturn. It will be interesting to see how it is received in the other press and by the public.
