Wadda think ab the new 9-3 Conv??

i love the looks of this car. its low, nice aero kit, the taillights are by far my fav. lights designed over ANY other tails. i want this car soo damn bad.

BUT, performance wise sucks, price is TERRIBLE, and interior isnt so great.
what do you guys think?

this thing is in the mid 40k range.

any info on upgraded turbo kits? hooked up pics? anything at all...

This one is getting moved very soon methinks...

Anyway, SAAB went to shit after the whole GM purchase thing. You can get a much nicer, more reliable car for the money. Looks cool though.

If you are going to spend in the mid $40k range then bite the bullet and cough up $45k for a new s4.

Looks nice, but for that $ I'd go for an A4 vert, which looks sexy as well.

S4 vert is 55k. I think the 9-3 vert is Sweet.

Friend has a nice bit of change and little knowledge about cars. His wife wanted a beatle convertible but they couldn't get the color they wanted. Instead he buys her the 9-3 convertible. They let me drive it and it was damn nice. They had a wood kit put in to the interior and it looked pretty good inside. For the price though there so many other cars they could have bought. I'd get the 9-3 if it was 27K but 45 is re-damn-diculous!

the new s4 has serious problems. just do a search on any audi forum. people are having engines/trannies replaced.

this car is beautiful...my parents just recently sold their durango and were very interested in saabs...we looked at both the 9-5 and 9-3 but they had decided if they were to get a saab it would have to be the vert.....turns out it not worth the money so we ended up gettin a deville (pics should be up shortly)

i liked the old 9-3 vert more...those taillights are just too goofy for my taste, but the front is hot.
