"new" saab 9-3 actually...

…has some good improvements for an update.

http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/country/ecf/newsID/2070611.001/saab/new-saab-9-3-range-officially-unveiled

Active system for class-leading performance, up to 100% rear torque transfer

uprated 280 hp (206 kW), 2.8V6 turbo engine which delivers almost 15% more maximum torque (400 Nm) to exploit the greater traction available.

Wow, that is quite nice.

I’m actually looking to buy a 9-3 Aero right now. When I saw that new body style for the convertible though, all I could think of was a Toyota Solara :meh:

Nice, I like the styling too.

whos awd setup did gm steal/buy?

its really a shame that saab is nothing more than body styling

Certainly reads like a press release. Only slightly less hype in there than the segway had in it’s marketing.

My prediction… in a 6 car shootout the new Saab will come in 5th, ahead of Volvo but behind the other players, pretty much just as it’s been for some time.
