My last car was a BMW. I prefer the automatic transmission Aero I now drive, but the acceleration from 0-20mph is embarrassingly slow compared to almost any BMW. It helps that the BMWs are rear wheel drive, but still their throttle response and acceleration off idle is superb, while the Saab is not.
I think the turbo just isn't going to spring to life from idle unless you do something juvenile, like raise rpm before takeoff by holding the gas and brake at the same time, then releasing the brake to take off (which of course works, btw).
