Yes, this is what I think, I'm more that happy with my 150bhp lpt. But this business is more about image. A saab with less bhp than a Skoda or an Astra? No we can't have that. Saab is bound to climb the performance ladder, and this will require AWD and bigger engines with more cyl. I'm very worried that the 9-5 will turn into a RWD Opel Omega, the same platform host the 180mph monster brute Vauxhall Monaro VXR 398bhp 6LV8, a but hardly with the technical finesse of Saab.
