Some years ago, Saab added a pair of balance shafts: counterweighted shafts spinning at twice the speed of the crankshaft. This counters both primary vibrations (those found from the power and compression strokes) and, to a lesser degree, secondary vibrations (those found at ninty degrees to the compression and power strokes from the crankshaft's counter weights themselves).
If you do in fact rev the engine, you will feel some vibration. Myself, I'm not so sure if it's NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) that I'm feeling, or just the exhaust pulse.
It is, indeed, a very smooth engine for a 4 cyl, especially for one as large as 2.3 liters.
