The New Saab 9-5 2010: I've driven it now :)

[Guy]

They had one in the Oracle in Reading a while ago. It was left in there over the weekend, and the alarm was going off non stop. Can't say I'm sold on the looks.

There an estate in the works?

+1 on info about any diesels in the works? Might have to have a look in a few years at second hand models!

Thats kinda where I was going..

I like the idea of a 300bhp estate with a lot of torque , even if it is a scrabblewagon - had some conformation that the top gear video of the under steer involved disabling the Stability control , which I believe isn't actually possible on a production model.

9-3 V6 Turbo 255 Sportwagon.

hugely better than a Vectra tbh.. but more passive to drive. Rock solid rear grip...not like the vectra which is a bit of a slider.

Also got a 4x4 now

the 2.0 Aero HOT is a 4pot but it's lovely. I'd have that over a V6 every day, cos the v6's drink fuel like it's free.. which it aint.

whats the tunabililty of the HOT like ? I know the old 9000 HP Turbo was a bit of a beast when it came to mid range accelleration
