The new V-6 is not a problem child...

aside from having a timing belt instead of chain, I have no problem with it. It is a good, smooth and powerful engine. Not 100% Saab, but acceptable as an engine for the masses. It also has a nice, smooth idle.
The V-6 from the 900 gave the V-6 a bad name, but the engine has had it's act cleaned up (so to speak). It is very reliable now. The largest advantage is it's smoothness in 'around town' acceleration.
I'm not trading my Aero by any means, but I wouldn't scrap the idea of the V-6 for the common urban driver.
Cheers,
Brian.
