I like this car a lot! :D

It does have the right "young and a bit aggressive" look. It's performance is okey (well it's not an S4 exactly), but then again the price tag is pretty human. The interior's great! I love the hi-tech modern look and the seats are great as well. I tried to speak my father into the right direction (he's a Saab fantast since the old 900 came) when buying a new car, but my cries were not heard.

This is, comparising with the S80 T5 the young business man's choice! The S80 seems to attract older buyers.

I tried this car today and it is not as good as they say in the commercials.
A lot of turbolag and once you get some boost it's time to change gear and the story repeats itself.
It's not very stable in high speeds either and the ESP is over sensitive.

But the seats are excellent. I just don't find any reason to stay in it.

Maybe the forthcoming SAABaru will be better.

Weel, my comment on the performance was based on numbers and salesman-talk. Says a lot does it! :p
But I didn't expect the turbolag you're talking about?! SAAB is bragging a lot about that all their new motors have a turbo so I figured that they "should" be good. I think I 'll have to take it out for a test drive.
But I still like it... :)

And yes the SAABaru might get interesting.
