Hi Bas
OG900 LPTS are common in markets outside the US. Down here in New Zealand most OG900 Saabs imported in the 1990s seem to be LPT (autos too). Few, if any, Aeros or manuals were brought in over those years it seems. Also, we're now big on bringing in low mileage s/h OG900s from Hong Kong and Japan, they're LPTs too.
The LPT is exactly as its name suggests. Less powerful than a full-blown turbo but with more oomph than an N/A. Benefits are that its easier on the pocket and the transmission, and they spool up quicker so they're better around town than a HPT.
I preferred to buy an older Aero as the LPT I drove (auto box) wasn't much fun. Just not enough 'go'...
Best of luck
Jo K
