Be Green & Buy Used Saab

There is a lot of change going on in today's world. Globally, people are purchasing products from all over the world, not just things that are made in their own countries. Financially, people are more and more concerned about saving money and being smart financially. Environmentally, there is growing awareness about "being green" and purchasing environmentally friendly products. How can you as a consumer address all three concerns with one product? The easiest and best way would be to purchase a Used Saab.

Ask anyone that is remotely familiar with cars if they know what Saab is and they will tell you that it is a Swedish vehicle. Originally, the company was well known for it's airplane engines, but eventually has made quite a name for itself in the car industry. They have produced some wonderful vehicles that have become a part of popular culture all over Europe, where it is very common that you will see many people with a Used Saab.

Financially, purchasing a Used Saab would be one of the best ways to obtain a higher end vehicle without paying the high end price of a brand new one. Take a look around you on the road, you might notice more and more Saab models out there. How are all these people able to afford these cars? Are they all rich? Not necessarily. They might be taking advantage of purchasing used. Keep in mind that it might be hard to find a newer model with lower miles. Since Saab vehicles are very reliable, people tend to hang onto them for long periods of time and generally are able to put a lot of miles on them.

Finally, most people that are concerned about the environment really do not like all the emissions that come out of cars, but you can do your part by looking into a Saab. By purchasing a Used Saab puts into practice the popular phrase "Reduce Reuse and Recycle." Saab is also known for it's advanced green technologies in their vehicles.

2010 Saab 9-3

The Saab 9-3, Saab's near-luxury car, has no power-train changes for what will probably be its final year.

2.0T models have a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four. Known as the LK9, this 16-valve, DOHC engine is part of GM's Ecotec family. It is all aluminum, with cast-iron cylinder liners and twin balance shafts for greater smoothness. With a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and up to 12.3 pounds of boost from its inter-cooled turbocharger, the LK9 produces 210 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.

Aero models have a 2.8-liter turbocharged V6. This 24-valve, DOHC engine, known as the LP9, is part of GM's High Feature family, manufactured in Australia. It is all aluminum, with a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, a variable intake manifold, and continuously variable timing for both the intake and exhaust valves. The version in the 9-3 has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and an intercooled, twin-scroll turbocharger, with a separate inlet from each cylinder bank to reduce turbo lag. In 2008, Saab raised maximum boost pressure from 7.3 psi to 11.6 psi, increasing output to 280 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

The 2.0-liter engine suffers more turbo lag than newer designs like Volkswagen's 2.0 TSI engine. It is slightly weak at low speeds, and power comes on with a bang once the turbo spools up. The 2.8-liter V6 has less lag. The 2.8T performs well at all speeds, although it is no stronger than the normally aspirated V6s in rivals like the Acura TSX. Both 9-3 engines are smooth, but their persistent exhaust drone at cruising speeds annoys some reviewers.

The 2.0T's EPA fuel economy estimates are average for this class, but the 2.8T's thirsty 15/24 rating is well behind the 280-horsepower Acura TSX and the 300-horsepower BMW 135i. Saab recommends 90-octane fuel for both engines.

2010 Saab 9-5

The Saab 9-5 design is over a decade old, but there are many changes on the horizon, especially for the power plant of the 2010 Saab 9-5. Under the new ownership of GM, Saab will be offering multiple engine options for the newest Saab 9-5. All of these new engines have been redesigned under the supervision of GM.

The smallest and most efficient engine option for the 2010 Saab 9-5 is the 1.6-lite turbocharged gasoline engine, which is capable of 180 horsepower. In fact, every engine being offered by Saab on the 2010 9-5 comes equipped with a turbocharged from the factory.

A step up in power from the 1.6-liter is the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, capable of 220 horsepower. There is also a second engine option for the standard 2.0-liter gasoline engine, and that is the E85 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel, which puts out 160 horsepower, and can run on both conventional diesel and bio-diesel fuel.

However, the most powerful engine offered on the 2010 Saab 9-5 is the 2.8-liter turbocharged V6. The 2.8-liter V6 engine will top all the other engines in the Saab line, producing over 300 horsepower. There are also rumors that GM will offer a supercharged version of their 3.6-liter V6 which will offer over 350 horsepower, which will make the 2010 Saab 9-5 the most powerful sedan offered by Saab. However, this amount of power would be too much for a front wheel drive transmission, and would probably be featured on an all-wheel-drive platform.

All of the 2010 Saab models will come equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift override system. It is likely that only the European market will receive a true 6-speed manual transmission on the 2010 Saab 9-5, but it could be offered on the American market as well.

New and Improved 2010 Saab 9-3x

As a result of customer feedback and to maintain a competitive edge, Saab has changed a great deal in the past few years and is taking on a whole new persona these days. The 2009 Saab 9-7x 4.2 liter I-6 engine offered a simple and efficient engine that is definitely not turbo-charged. The engine is actually a GM designed engine that was created for efficient power and fuel economy.

Offering the double overhead cam, the engine burned the fuel outside the actual working cylinders increasing the airflow in and out of the cylinders and increasing the performance and potential of this well built engine. The 4.2 liter I-6 engine also offers a number of features, each of them ultimately adding to an optimal performance:

* Bore/stroke ratio of 92.0 mm x 102.0 mm
* 285 Horsepower
* 10:3 Compression Ratio
* Variable valve timing/camshaft

As with all cars, the new one has grown up and a newer one has been born. The 2010 Saab 9-3x is a turbocharged improvement from the 2009 9-7x. There are two engine options that have been revealed thus far for the 2010 9-3x:

* 210 hp 2.0L Turbocharged Petrol Engine
* 280 hp 1.9L TTID Turbo diesel Engine

Each of these engines offers a great deal more performance out of the SUV as well as more capabilities in towing and overall drive, two qualities that the consumer finds attractive. The 2010 9.3x has actually been said to go from 0 to 60mph in 8.2 seconds; an enhancement from the former 2009 9-7x. The simplicity of the 4.2L I-6 engine is still a comfort for those that aren't looking for too much in the way of overall power.
