From what I read about the chassis improvments with 2002 and some other stuff, it sounds pretty good. My wife and I drove an Arc s/w Saturday, which is of course an autobox. We were so at home. We tested a Volvo Wagon and there was no appeal whatsoever. It was real strange. Both were automatics. The ford... I mean Volvo would downshift and rev and make noise and do nothing. The Saab just put on boost and quietly hauled ass. So the extrapilation top the aero was easy. I don't want to remove an intake manifold to yank plugs. And the engine is very familiar!
The 6% posted difference in MPGs does is something that I find important.
The Aero brakes are huge. I will get the EBC brake pads and for the rear as well. Meanwhile we get someone on the NG900 or 9-3 BB blowing off about EBC pads warping their rotors. What crap.
