Saab 9-3 Aero to get 2.8L Turbo V6 Well when it was announced that Opel/Vauxhall were to supposedly get a hi-po version of the Vectra packing a turbocharged 2.8L V6, many people including myself figured it was obvious that next best candidate for that motor would be the Saab 9-3 since it is also built off of Epsilon. Low and behold those who predicted it were correct. Nice little motor. Should be a nice step up from the current turbocharged 4 banger.

Hell yeah. Their car's look decent, but the plane jane powerplants don't interest me @ ALL!
