The V6 is a native GM design and is built in the UK. It is not a "traditional" - designed & built by SAAB engine. If you look at the window sticker, it will tell you that the V6 is built in the UK and the 5 sp. tranny is built in Japan (by Aisin-Warner but they make great trannys so no worries here).
Your perception of the V6 is accurate... have heard that from many people. It does not idle as smooth, is not free-revving like a SAAB 4 cyl, is more raucous under acceleration, etc.
I would either get a base with the 4 cyl. or go straight for the Aero... You will have peace of mind knowing that it was designed and built by SAAB.
