Re: Jalopnik Drives Saab Turbo X, Doesn't Break It This Time
Sounds like Saab has finally conered Audi, Volvo, BMW, Acura and Subaru...
Did you hear that exhaust note? Sweet!!!

Re: Jalopnik Drives Saab Turbo X, Doesn't Break It This Time
is there any way to get away from wind noise in a microphone? Drives me slightly nutz, but the vid itself was good, I think I really like this new Saab. But as per the usual w/ turbo'd motors, it prolly requires premium fuel. I can barely afford the 'just turned' four buck a gallon regular fuel here in Seattle. Sigh.

Re: Jalopnik Drives Saab Turbo X, Doesn't Break It This Time
TurboX is the first time I've really liked a Saab since GM took over. I particularly tlike the sedan...I know, I know but there is something about the wagon that i don't really like. I think its the Toyota Tercel tail lights.
