because they use turbos, and turbo lag makes the 0 to X time slower. I do, however, believe that acceleration is a major part of a "performance-oriented" automobile which saab clearly makes and markets towards. 7.0 seconds is by no means feable in this regard. I test drove an '03 Infinity M45 with a 340hp V8 that went 0-60 in 6.4 second. 0.6 seconds faster for terrible gas mileage, premium fuel only, and very expensive tire? I don't think so. Nice car, but my Saab was much less expensive and I couldn't really see that much difference between the two cars. Not to mention that it's really fun to have a car which you don't see too often (especially here in Florida).
