0-60 in 6.7 seems really poor for a turbocharged V6. Even the 5 speed Altima beats that. I know, real life bla, bla....but why can't Saab also deliver good paper stats as well as real life like many other brands do? The Infinity G35 does 0-60 in 5.8 sec with 280 non-turbo HP, the Saab should be close do to the massive low end torque of the Turbo V6. Is it just a traction issue due to the FWD layout? In many respects this looks like a great car, but if I get a Combi, it will still be a L4 engine. 210 HP is plenty for me. Infact I wish they kept the 175 HP so you could use reg. gas!!!
