Saab 9-3 Turbo-X Vs. Saab 9-3 Viggen
January 28th, 2008 by Ryan - 2 Comments
Saab Automobile USA has just provided a great comparison chart between the 1999-2002 Saab 9-3 Viggen as well as the 2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo-X.
I think this clarification really shows just how unique each of these high performance models are in comparison to one another.
I realize that the Saab Community acknowledges and appreciates this new limited-edition model launch, but in terms of “visibility” as mentioned at last week’s Washington, D.C. Auto Show, does everyone else globally know about the Turbo-X that should know?
There is no mistaking the 2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo-X as a great car, but how, where and with what frequency is this vehicle being advertised and promoted? That’s the question in order to not second guess the “visibility” of not only the Turbo-X, but the brand itself.
Here are the comparison charts thanks to Saab Automobile USA:

what about the fuel economy difference. I have owned two Viggens, four door and two door I have also owned a 2000 9-3se which was great. Check out the fuel ecomomy difference and comment on that. Great article really enjoyed reading.

i have a 2002 viggen. My dealer has been telling me about this new TurboX for some time. Well the other day I was getting an oil change and my friendly salesman says, look here is the new Turbo X…want to take if for a test drive.
From what I read this car is supposed to be fast. I knew within the first block that this wasn’t true. I guess all these reviewers either drove the viggen so long ago or never drove one to think that this new car is hotter than a viggen.
When I press the gas pedal on the viggen I get INSTANT go, absolutely no waiting for it to spool up - no delay it just starts to go really fast right now…the new Turbo had al least an inch of play inthe gas pedal before anything happens and then it come on, smoothbut not like the viggen. the viggen is a beast and in the 3 years I have owned it not a single BMW, Porcshe, Mustag, or any other “hot” car has been able to keep up. I have even raced sport bikes and they cant pull away. 20lb boost, TVR suspension it is a race car, the new Turbo is a street car
Maybe I just got a good one. but I doubt it.
So why is the advertising for this New Saab not mentioning the Viggen?? because the viggen still rules…
ps viggen wners want to have some fun, test drive the new one with your saleman in it
