My/Your Ideal Saab Lineup
Feel free to post your lineups in here!
Ok, I've got some ranting to do with how GM is handling Saab, but I'll just make a quite note here on what GM needs to do: Fork over the money to Saab and let their engineers and designers go to work! They're all about unique Euro-brand alternativeness, so let them be it! Ok, now to my lineup...
9-1 $25,000-$36,000
Saab's answered to the A3, this little three door hatch is available with a 200 HP 2.4L, upgraded 260 HP 2.0L turbo n the Aero. Performance and style, with the new Saab face, is what this little guy is about! Based on the Delta II, it gets standard AWD. Also available is the Mightytec 1600 diesel, good for 140 HP and 280 lbs-tq.
The Viggen performance model recieves obvious performance upgrades with a 300 HP turbo 2.0L Ecotec, larger brakes, wider and grippier tires, a track-tuned suspension, and more aggressive styling.
9-3 $29,000-$40,000
Standard AWD help put this against the A4 by Audi. The engines are as follows: a 260 HP 3.6L as the base engine while the Aero recieves a 310 HP DI 3.6L V6. Also available is the Mightytec 1800 with 170 HP and 300 lbs-tq. Based on the Epsilon II.

Kappa coupe, a quick and nimble RWD compact coupe keeping with the new Saab design. Optional AWD. A 2.4L making 200 HP brings up the base side, while the Aero gains a 260 HP turbo 2.0L Ecotec. A tight suspension helps keep this little car on the road.

9-5 $38,000-$49,000
Keep with the new brand face, the 9-5 is a larger car keeping about the same size as the current 9-5. Basically, a Saab update on the only all-Saab car in their lineup currently. Standard AWD.
