Audi and Saabs or just different vehicles. Saabs are way more functional in the day to day activities, but Audi's have their place too. I personaly do not like the 1.8t and felt that the 9-3 is a much better car. The viggen versus the s4 is another story. When you get above 220 hp and 250 ft/lbs of torque you start to benefit from either rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. I love driving the 9-3, but when you floor it you can feel steering torque. The viggen is even more pronounced in the steering. The s4 just goes with none of this. As for as acceleration I am not into 0-60 times, but 2nd and 3rd gear will definitely pull away from a viggen. Don't get me wrong I had a 1988 9000t till just a few months ago and I liked driving it better than my 9-3 or the s4. Audi's and Saabs are both great cars it is just a personal choice. Cars are expensive chunks of metal so drive what pleases you.
