Gaywheels drive the Turbo X
The reps from Gaywheels were at the Boston media drive for the Saab Turbo X and they’ve recently published their writings on the car, giving it a very positive review.
You Turbo X buyers really ought to head out to your garages right now, fire it up, and just take a moment to appreciate what your wisdom, good taste and good fortune has placed in your possession. Limited to just 2,000 units all ’round the world, the reports that keep coming in week after week confirm that this is one very. desirable. car.
As an aside, I’m pleased to note that our mate, Kroum, should be picking up his X this weekend. I’m sure plenty of photos and thoughts will be forthcoming (hint hint!
)
But back to our reviewers from Gaywheels and their drive in the Turbo X. Once again, the X proves to be a formidable drive and very tidy package.
SAAB - They Have Great Seats Right?
When you think of Saab, you don’t necessarily think of high performance. Most wouldn’t think that a sexy Saab 9-3 could take on the boys from Bavaria when it comes to performance and up to this point, they couldn’t…….Enter the Turbo X. The sport suspension, advanced all-wheel-drive system and the additional horsepower it allows, makes this Saab speak Swedish with a German accent.
….Where as the 9-3 Aero is sporty the Turbo X is downright aggressive.
It’s a great writeup and well worth your perusal.
And one bit is worth noting at the end, where they mention that several of the Turbo X bits for 2008 will be available on 2009 Aero model Saab 9-3s. These include the eLSD as standard, as well as some of the carbon fibre accents and the (reportedly much better) steering wheel.

Just wanted to confirm. The X steering wheel IS much better! It does a great job of bringing you into the car after you sit down.
The steering wheel is much better - more comfortable and might be less fatiguing on a trip. My dealer got a SportCombi in and I took it for a ride yesterday so I got to experience it for a short time.
It should be noted that in addition to the steering wheel the acceleration is MUCH BETTER as well.
That car is one impressive piece of machinery.
I do not see the link with anal incontinence though
