In Germany there is some type of limit at 130hp on company cars, and without this 122hp engine no Saab manages to get below the limit. I don't think anyone buying the cheaper step-in model with 122hp expects a speed monster. Saab must sell cars in segments that have a large volume. This kind of car is a must to be able to enter these volume segments. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/
