Automobile Magazine Review of '06 Saab 9-3 Aero

Part of a new GM engine family that includes the excellent VVT sixes in the Cadillac CTS and SRX, Saab's version displaces 2.8 liters and features a clever twin-scroll turbocharger fed by two exhaust ducts (one from each cylinder bank) to improve boost smoothness and efficiency.

Saab's performance claims for the Aero V-6 sedan-0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds and a top speed in excess of 155 mph-seem conservative to us. The car is as quick, composed, and agile as anything that's ever worn the crowned-griffin emblem. Peak torque arrives at a very low 2000 rpm, and although the steering wheel has its headstrong moments, full-throttle acceleration never becomes a wrestling match, as it has in Saab turbos of yore.

More good press for the '06 Aero and the twin-scroll turbo. Food for thought for those desktop critics bemoaning the 'lackluster' performance before even getting behind the wheel...
