dabbled with the V-6, and had normally aspirated 4's for quite a while in the 900/9-3, that today, all 9-3's come with a turbo. You're right - for some reason, I thought the 9-5's V-6 was a straight breather... but it's a turbo. Sorry about that.
The point more than anything was that Saab has done turbocharged engines for quite a while (standard or not) and doesn't just retrofit a turbo into the engine compartment (as was my father's 280, and many turbos/sc's today)...
