>criticism. My only gripe with my new 9-3 was the handling, which has since

I have a 2000 9-3, and I agree about the handling - it could be better
(well, actually, the handling isn't bad, it could use a bit better turn in,
and less body roll.) It does respond nicely to drop throttle maneuvers,
however. I presume swapping the springs and shocks reduced the body roll,
but did it make the ride unacceptably harsh (I live in Massachusetts, where
our gas tax money gets spent on the Big Dig (Pig?), not on any of the other
roads)?

>A Saab SUV???? What next from the mindless GM people in Detroit? If

I disagree with this comment. As much as I like them, Saab has always been
a bit player. As far as I am concerned, since the market wants an SUV, let
them make an SUV. At least if they let the Saab engineers loose, it won't
be a lumbering tank like those damn Ford Expeditions, Explorers, ... etc.
IMO, if and only if they can bring volumes up, are they going to remain a
semi-independent company. Otherwise, they'll become Buick, just another
badge engineered vehicle.
