Can you guess where else you can find the Cadillac Catera's 3.0 V6? I own a 95 900SE with a 2.5 V6, it has 135K miles and it runs great with no major repairs. I have replaced the timing belt on it every 35K miles or so and never had a problem with it. I think it's a great engine and I do prefer it over most 4 cyl. engines that I have driven in the past. I have driven quite a few ... I know that most SAAB diehards do not like it and think that a SAAB should have only a 4 cyl engine, but that's just my humble opinion. Alex
