Though we really love the features and utility of our '97 900 SET, the driving dynamics leave something to be desired. I think the 2 main ways to address it would be:
1) Really stiffen up the chassis. With a stiffer chassis, you can get the same handling out of a less rigid suspension, and smooth&quiet the ride.
2) Move to independant rear suspension.
I think they also need to address build quality. We get more rattles inside than we should, and a few seams inside don't fit/line up.
I just hope the car doesn't get gm-ized. I walked past a tire shop yesterday and there were a few of the GM big cars up on lifts getting tires changed, and the brakes were TINY. No wonder i hear that they fade and warp!
