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.

A 1000 lb towing capacity is not acceptable in a full out, BOF SUV. Bragging rights. Besides, Saab hopes to snag some new customers.

295 Lb ft at ZERO rpm...LOL!
#15 of 346 he, he, he........... by jchan2 Dec 03, 2003 (2:32 pm)
yeah.... 295 pounds of torque ought to tow your boat and the neighbor's boat!
#16 of 346 Add a LPT to the V8 by buddhabman Dec 11, 2003 (11:41 am)
Saab should add the low pressure turbo to both the V6 (280-290 HP) and V8 (290 -320 HP) motors.
