was that their 0-60 specs for the Viggen didn't corrulate at all with their own road test results listed later in the same issue. They tested the Viggen at 6.9 seconds (0-60), whereas the "road test" section listed the 9-3 SE at 6.8. I've written a letter which I highly doubt they have the balls to publish...but I'm sure I'll get ripped on if they do. Fudging on times wasn't specific to the Saab review either...a couple other models were "represented poorly". C&D is a turd of a magazine and I've lost all (If I ever had any) respect for their poor reporting abilities and "research" results. Then again, I don't have my own magazine...so I'll shut up.
