A Fast and Furious Saab Wagon? Yes

Picking up the 9-3 Aero SportCombi was an interesting experience. Lipstick red? You bet. Ten minutes later, I found myself on the shoulder of a busy New Jersey road with the blues and two's going -- damn.

The 9-3's exterior is conservative. Seeing a 9-3 cruising down the strip, it is painfully obvious that it is a Saab. However, some updates have been put in order. There is new lighting in the front and rear. The front parking lights, which can be best described as eyebrows, complement the xenon headlights and provide the front end with a bit of ferocity. Larger cutouts to feed air to the engine make their way into the front valence. Certainly a more aggressive appearance than previous Saabs, this new look provides an attractive face for the brand. I think we have a "sleeper" on our hands.

not too surprising, I've got an old (well, not really; it was like '95) saab 900ce that is a blast to drive and has lots of soul. Sadly with soul comes broken parts and they're a bitch to find. Shame saab's falling through the cracks.

280 hp Turbo V6 makes those things scoot pretty well!

Nice! I've always been a fan of Saab; I hope they continue to hang on. I'd certainly be interested in an a sedan with the turbo powertrain along with AWD
