nnnn... I donno. if you tune your ride correctly FF cars are pretty darn fast too. for a cheap $30k near luxury car, FF is
okay for me...but that doesn't necessarily mean that saab 9-3 are okay at $30k. they should be priced $23k-24k starts and top off
at about $30k with all options.

 

I have been looking to replace my WRX with something a little more upscale. I have looked at the Saab as well as the BMW 3 series coupe and the Audi A4. However, the one that stole the show was the new G35 coupe from Infiniti. I test drove the automatic, unforuntaley the 6-speeds were all pre-order so I could not get in one, and all I can say is wow. The car handles like a porsche and the interior is amazing. The auto did not have the Brembos, which stop the coupe in 112ft...ouch, but man were the brakes grabby. I am already to order me a graphite 6-speed in January. If anyone is looking in this niche, make sure you check out the G35 coupe.

 

the g35 sports coupe is nice.

i heard one the other day and it had a nice
exhaust tone for a stock muffler(s).

i think it looks better than the z.

but sti will rule

 

yah, im gonna be getting one probably next fall. not to replace my wrx though. hehehe.

 

Meh..

A proper Saab has a hatchback. This is just the beginning of GM's plan to wring all the quirks and unique qualities out of Saab's until they are just as dull and generic as the Chevy Malibu that it's based on.

Next the interior design will get more bland, the keyhole will be on the dash, the windsheild will become increasingly raked back and flat losing its unique curvature.

I can't bear to watch honestly. It's a damn tragedy.
