Sounds like a joke passed around the room so that by the time it gets to you it's unintelligible.
The spring of 05 car is definitely the 9-3 Sport Hatch. The 9-3X was supposed to have had a V6 turbo with 300hp. The 9-3 SportHatch Concept has a turbo four with 250hp. The 9-3SS line I've always heard was Haldex AWD capable. The 9-3X did sit a little fashionably high, kinda' in the Audi All Road or Volvo Cross Country spirit.
I suspect that the Saab version of the global V6, the engine in a CTS or SRX Caddy, will be a 2.8 liter version turbo. If they turbo'd the 3.6 liter they'd get more than 300hp I suspect unless they follow the previous mold of the assymetrically turbo'd 3.0 V6 and just add a turbo for effect. I personally don't think we'll see the V6 in the 9-3 only the 9-5, but that's just a feeling, nothing to base it on.
