i don't really care what you have to say. in fact, you may be right.

it's beside the point though. i'm just tired of seeing 95% of your posts in the garage being about how badass saabs are.

i thought we were rid of you for a while, but now you're back. still posting the same stuff years later.

btw, plz to explain what in the hell this comparison is: turbo vs slush

i've driven both. i already said you may even be right on most of you points.

that doesn't change the fact it's an ugly ass car though, even if they're better than previous models.

i mean, oprah lost some weight but that doesn't make her hot.

Saabs have some terrible depreciation in comparision to their competitiors. Also their turbo lag and dashes suck.

^ actually you are wrong. there was a recent article that showed saab resale was above avg for its class. I will try and find it for ya.. I have to admit I was surprised because I would have agreed with you before I read that.. saw it on one of the saab forums.

Data is as follows:
Rank; Car; Depreciation Dollars(C$); Depreciation % of Actual Transaction Price
1.) Lexus IS250 Sport 6M;-$7000; -15%
2.) Acura TSX 6M;-9500; -25%
3.) SAAB 9-3 Aero 6M; -$11000, -26%
4.) BMW 325i Sport 6M; -$18000, -35%
5.) Cadillac CTS Sport 6M; -19000, -40%
6.) Infiniti G35 M6; -$19000, -41%

I have VERY little if any turbo lag... have you drive the new SS.. esp the 2.8 one? They are rolling out with the v6 twin turbo AWD biofuel one within 3 years I was told.

and the dash was also changed this year.. I think the new ones are fucking awesome.

^ so you personally dont like the dash then.. thats cool... the new ones are much better. But you really thought the car had turbo lag??? I find that really surprising.. granted the aero had a larger turbo than the linear but most conclude the car has little turbo lag.

didnt say it was an arguement... said I was pointing out peoples misconceptions.

Granted, I had driven a 2006 3.2 a4 quattro a few hours before. So that may played into it.


At the time, yes I did notice turbo lag.

where's Igor? he's like saab's top technician.

i'm still wondering two things:

"btw, plz to explain what in the hell this comparison is: turbo vs slush"

and
Quote :
"why the hell is a cts-v listed on there?"

unless there's a good reason, i would discount that information based on the intelligence of the creator.

1- plz show me where, i'm obviously blind
2- a 400hp v8 6 speed low production sedan is not in the same class as those vehicles.

^handling is an easily skewed term by manufacturers. i don't claim to know which handles better, but it could easily be you put both on a track a bmw busts the saab's ass. maybe the saab is better in one category/test than the bmw though.

wtf are you talking about dude.. the CTS is a V6 if I am not mistaken.. not even offered as a V8... you are talking about the CTS right?

^^ did I say anything about the saab having better driving ability than a BMW? nagh... interesting that it was better in that catergory being a FWD

it's not that great off the line, but passing power is more than you'd expect

No I don't want to drive a fucking Saab.

And no, I'm not a "negroe"

Quote :

Yeah, thats what the commercial said. It's probably BS, but every car magazine raved about the handling on the LS. 50/50 weight distribution, RWD, sport-tuned suspension shared with the Jag S-type, decent HP and torque, etc.
