SAAB 9-3 Viggen or Volvo C70 T5 Coupe

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

Just to remind you, im comparing a Saab 9-3, not the old Saabs lol.

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.
