I have a 2002 9-3SE and a 2001 9-5 Aero and I test drove the A4 2.0t and 3.2 last Sat. I found that their engines were noiser than the current Saabs' (A4 2.0t vs. 9-3 2.0t; A4 3.2 vs. 9-5).
A4 2.0t
2008 9-3 seems to be quicker. My 2002 seems to be slower.
A4 3.2
9-5 is as quick as the 3.2. The 3.2 may be smoother (no turbo -> no fun).
I was surprised the noise from the 3.2 engine. It is noiser than the 9-5.
It seems that Saab has better engine and the Audi has better interior.
I tried Saab 2.8t and found it had worse turbo lag than the 2.0t. After I gave it more gas, it seems to be ok. I am not crazy about the exhaust note but it's better than the G35's.
Hopefully TurboX/Black Turbo will be a hit.
