traction control any better in the winter?

Both the Viggen and the Aero can be fitted with 16 inch wheels. The
standard 9-5 and 9-3 will take 15 inch as well. Obviously the 9-5 with
traction control will be more capbapble in the snow and ice, but since
traction control tends to mask slightly the slippery conditions, the less
capable Viggen might turn out to be safer! But any Saab with 4 good snow
tires and a careful driver will handle anything you will see in Sourthern
Ontario.
