Almost completely identical in specs except for the SAAB weighs less and the Volvo has more HP but with very much the same Top Speed and 0-60 timings with the SAAB topping out by a .1 difference.

Which would you say performes better?

I've been in a Viggen convertible and the car really goes like lightning. However the Volvo looks better and doesn't have a 16 year old platform so probably handles all that power better.

Hmm, you've got a point there about the handling.

The C70 will handle better than the Viggen, the Saab's of old have FAR too much chassis flex, even as a Coupe.

So the Volvo

Yeah, the last 9-3 is a Saab of old, it was replaced by a much nicer model, remember ;)

Yeah I love the brand new 9-3s. I would probably take one over a BMW. But then again the older 9-3 models were also nice for a hatchback type of car. :iceslolan
