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.

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.

CalliPHISH All American 10883 Posts user info edit post |
^ 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.

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?

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.
