Article comments for First Drive: 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero XWD - Saab says XWD should be pronounced "Cross-Wheel Drive." It hardly rolls off the tongue, but this fourth-generation Haldex-engineered system breaks some new ground. (more)

Replying to: pat (Jul 14, 2007 11:50 am) it's nice to see you also pal.  I've been job hunting (have a couple of leads) and of course going through this nasty divorce pal, thus not leaving me much time to be on here.  -Rocky |

Replying to: bons (Jul 17, 2007 1:59 pm) any word on when the Black Turbo, might be available for our consumption pal ????? Do you know anything about the navigation and stereo equipment yet onthe 08' 9-3 ???? Any voice recognition, HD Radio, etc ???? Will ventilated seats be a option yet ?  Thanks, -Rocky |

i know this is going to sound lame and petty, but the no Bluetooth policy is a dealbreaker. who wants to pay a monthly fee for something you may never use (yeah, yeah, if you're in an accident in the middle of bum*uck nowhere...). the rest of the competition at least has it as an option. GM needs to let go of that lame service.

Replying to: bons (Jul 22, 2007 7:24 am) I can and will wait. I couldn't afford one atthis momment in time any ways. Ventilated seats will be available as option or even standard. I sure hope you are right because that would be a very cool feature. -Rocky P.S. Thanks for the link bons. If you see anything more related to this wonderful car please post it ASAP.

I was just informed by my SAAB dealer that the 9-3 XWD cars will not be available until the SECOND HALF of 2008. Meaning July or August 2008 at the earliest. Bummer Guess I'll just lease a 9-5 SportCombi Aero until that time.

I think it's great that my favorite car of all time (I've had four 9-3's/900's) is getting a power boost & maybe XWD. I find it thoroughly disappointing that they took the best looking car on the road and made the front look like a cross between a BMW, and nissan, and a subaru. (so disappointed that I found myself looking at the 08 C-Class today, ugh) This is not pretty. I suppose I can live with the Nissan/BMW headlights. However, This new air dam is hideous; Please tell me it is only going to be on the low power models and not the Aero or "VIGGEN". PLEASE. With my '04 Aero convertible I felt they finally got it right; the design is flawless; the air dam low and a little scuffed, but absolutely clean and beautiful. If this is truly the new look of the front I will never go to the "Viggen" which I've prayed for - for years. I will keep my 2004 Aero for another year, and then go find a low mileage 2006 v-6 Convertible and hang it up from there. Please, GM, bring us the BLACK, the VIGGEN, the power and beauty we're hoping for. and soon! PS I suppose I'll have an 04 Aero Convertible for sale before long... anyone? cheers, wellsn |
