stage 2 kit. i know i know.
exhaust will come when i feel its time to replace the slightly rusty one under there right now. and your talking about 280-300 hp i do believe.
hell the ECU does 260.
My 3" downpipe is en route to me now. Taking her down to the exhaust shop next week to get it all fitted on. ECU alone on mine does 290hp though.

With the Employee Pricing, why would anyone buy a Saab that does NOT qualify?

Better yet, go for the S40 package. From Volvo. Then you'll have a car that isn't an insane cobbling of European overengineering and GM's crappy parts. Saabs are serious problem cars. That doesn't bother some people (like me) but it might bother you to have to make a few trips to the dealer each month.
I love the way the new Saabs look, and drive.
S40?
does volvo get the Ford Employee Discount like Saab gets the GM Employee discount? i also get another $1500.00 off because I have an Olds Intrigue.
No, PAG vehicles are excluded from all promotions.
The Aston dealer said mean things to me.
But seriously, an S40 T5 is a MUCH more reliable and solid car. And in any trim model, it's more powerful than a Saab. And also very good looking. I might just have to give the looks contest to the Saab though.
how is the interior in the Volvo, it's pretty nice in the Saab.
like i said, i'm pretty sold on the saab. but i'm not beyond going out to a volvo dealership tomorrow and taking a test drive.

The interior of the S40 is really stunning. The floating console is a work of art. The premium stereo is better than you'll find in any competing BMW or Mercedes. And Volvo seats have a long standing reputation for being the most comfortable seats short of a Rolls.

Hopefully they'll update it for 2006. The 9-5 Wagon seems like a nice replacement for my suv.
whats wrong with the interior?
maybe theres something but mine has some faux wood dash, so it might be a lil different.
o yea, dont forget about the weirdo reverse lift up gate in order to get into reverse and take the key out

That's whats wrong (the first picture).
I like everything else about it tho. I saw on saabcentral that the exterior is being updated, so I'm sure they're doing the interior too.

exterior wise, that volvo looks like it has the same basic design as the Saab. were they designed jointly?

I also don't like the layout or the big air vents, but I'm in no hurry to get a new car.

Have you actually sat in it or are you judging fom the picture? I've driven a 9-5 a bunch of times, and although it's not the fanciest interior, I would have to say it is very well laid-out.

The S40 bodystyle is a mix of an S60 and an A4.
i'm just looking at the profile, take out the nose (which is just stylistic) and look at the way the hood goes to the roof and to the trunk. it's very similar to what the saab 9-3 does. and i'm willing to bet they have similar interior dimensions as well.

wait, so if you take out ALL of the styling cues of the roof line, the hood line and trunk line, they look the same? you mean, a car looks like a car?

Avoid the rest of Saab's lineup like the unholy plague it is.

i do really like the saab.

i dislike the fact that compared to any GM truck the A/C sorta sucks, but GM trucks always have had the coldest a/c of any ca ive ever been in.

I'd get a base Saab over a base Volvo. The Saab is turbocharged. The base S40 is not. An S40 T5 will obliterate anything in Saab's lineup though.

hmm, but the HP ratings are similar. doesn't the Volvo have a bigger 5 cylinder engine compared to the Saab's 2.0 liter 4 cylinder?
