Whoops. I meant it will have the ignition on the foor.

if it is a 'Saab Rainier' the only way this vehicle will not get absolutely butchered in the automotive press will be if it has a unique and quality interior. Not a detroit interior.   To me if they are committed to proceeding with this brand slander, then turbocharge the 6 to be unique......
#5 of 346 TURBOCHARGING by jchan2 Nov 27, 2003 (5:35 am)
Not a bad idea. Since the ads for Saab right now brag that the whole line is turbocharged. That'll make it unique.

The platform has been heavily modified to make it sportier (they should have done that for the SSR), so hopefully that means a new interior as well. Don't expect turbocharging any time soon.
#7 of 346 Well by jchan2 Nov 30, 2003 (5:36 am)
At least that will draw some buyers from the other models not just because there's a Saab badge plastered to the front but because it's sportier than the TrailBlazer, Envoy or Ranier.

it would still make sense for Saab to engineer a turbo for the thing.
#9 of 346 or by jchan2 Dec 01, 2003 (4:40 pm)
just add a turbo to the 3.6 to make up for the small difference in horsepower between the 2. 3.6 makes 245 non turbo- engineer a 35 horsepower turbo making 280 horsepower, five more than the 4.2 inline 6.

Actually the HF 3600 makes 260 HP in the STS. Only problem is it's a car engine. The HF engines can't tow squat, neither can the Northstars.

I doubt saabers will be pulling yachts

you can always throw in a hybrid. The Prius has 295 pounds of torque! That'll tow like crazy. Then again, most Saab customers don't tow.
