True, but the suspension set up on the new gen Saab was prone to vibrations
around 60-65 mph caused by mounting bushings in the front suspension. There
was a lot of problem with it when the car came out and the factory took over 8
months to find a fix. Their intial reply was to balance the wheels, but that
did not solve the problem.
