that Erin Riches might not, in fact, have driven the car after all. Reading the specifications and performance page, you'll find there's no handling rating for the Saab (no data), whereas several cars that I've checked always have their rating on handling and more importanly, extra section that comments specifcially on acceleration, handling, and braking. See the links below to see what I mean
9-5

Look like Ms. Riches forgot to complete that section of her desk-top
test drive assignment! Now I strongly believe that all the comments on torque steer and poor handling were entirely based on what she had heard of the Saab in the past. Scott P. is right on about Edmunds and I quote
"They're a car pricing company with some hack writers re-hashing past text"
