I have been a SAAB guy for 6 years now & I simply love these machines. I just bought the SAAB Turbo X only 600 out of 2,000 made it to the States & what a car. Hands down AMAZING!! I have to say the ONLY thing GM helped SAAB with was their electrical systems that are much better. And the dealer was willing to let this baby go at more then $12,000.00 off the sticker!! $32,000.00 out the door with tinted windows and front clear rock chip protection at no charge, and they went for it!! Now IS the time to buy...they are hungry. The XWD system is rock on.....I could not break this one off the road. SOLID CAR ALL AROUND!!

This car has a unique look that don't age like BMW, Mercedes. It has been designed by air pilots, without compromise about what it will look like at the end. Your seating in a crazy seat, I do have, like in a plane cockpit, I night vision option, all light goes off except the speed. So, you are not blinded by the car's dashboard light. It has in 2008, more equipment than any current American, German or Japenese luxurious entry car...V6 Turbo XWD 300hp-300lbs, Dark night black, Mat gun metal mag, and much more. I have one of the 500 imported in the USA and Canada for 2008. If you could put your hands on one, I do a driving test, I bet you are leaving with it. It is a summer and winter driving machine that will never age badly.

I've owned a 9.5 Areo in the past (which I loved), but this is like nothing Saab has ever offered. Quality is outstanding, not one problem so far; performance is amazing, especially for the price. The six speed manual transmission really adds to the true sports car feel and driving experience/control.

I bought this car on day -1 and now 50K miles later I can say I'm glad I did. As a total package this car cannot be beat. Does it go 0-60 with an M3 - no of course not. As a total experience this car rocks - decent off the line performance, great handling, no bling-bling crap, and a decent back seat.

I've had the car almost two weeks now and what a blast. Very quick and feels very solid. Love the exhaust note and the low end torque, which I wasn't used to in my previous 98 Saab turbo. If you like to drive this is a great car with the 6 spd manual. While the shift action may not be as smooth as I would like, it enhances the experience much more than the automatic version. While the MSRP may scare you, Saab's incentives make this car a great buy! Excellent car for the money and fun factor!
