2008 Saab Turbo X Say hello to the Turbo X, a limited-edition 9-3 that pays homage to the 1985 Saab 900 SPG, a classic coupe known for its trademark black exterior treatment, three-arm alloys, and turbo engine.....The result is the best-handling 9-3 to date -- oversteer is more prevalent and easier to maximize, and the overall balance borders on neutral. Moreover, torque steer has been all but quashed.



Of course, there's more to the X than its ebony duds and all-wheel drive. Saab enlarged the four-wheel disc brakes (13.6 inches front, 11.5 rear), lowered the ride height by 0.4 inch, and stiffened the springs and dampers all around. Inside, carbon-fiber accents, black leather seats, and a replica of the 900 Turbo's boost gauge complete the treatment.
