Trollhättan fans aren’t quibbling in light of the gallows rescue Saab<\/a> recently received from Spyker Cars, so perhaps everyone got distracted letting out a collective sigh of relief instead of checking the lineup’s option sheets carefully. Whatever the reason, it turns out that Saab is back to relying on four-cylinder engines for all its 9-3<\/a> and 9-3X<\/a> powertrain needs. <\/p>\n

Never a stranger to odd powerplants or engines from disparate manufacturers, Saab’s long tenure as a ward of General Motors<\/a> led to the appearance of Ecotec four-cylinders along with a version of GM’s “high feature” V6. The LP9 turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 was a delightful mill in the last Turbo X<\/a> we tried, but there’s plenty right with the four cylinder engines that remain standing. <\/p>\n

At this point, we’re just chomping at the bit to try out the new 2010 9-5<\/a>, a model slated to come to market soon with the 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 Aero first<\/a>, followed by a 2.0-liter turbo four model shortly thereafter as a 2011 model.<\/p>\n

How’d we miss that? No V6 for 2010 Saab 9-3 range<\/a> originally appeared on Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 27 Apr 2010 10:28:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n
