It makes one wonder if AWD is <i>really</i> necessary. 8) Regarding the BLS and flex-fuel, I believe what makes the Saab BioPower so great is the turbocharger (which the BLS doesn't have, does it?), the direct-ignition, and the Trionic system. Does the BLS have these components so it can be made "BioPower"?

So probably not available yet. But when it is, boy, are the sales figures gonna skyrocket or what! ;) I looked at this page now, and can’t find any reference to FlexPower or E85:
