S4 vs Viggen
Have any of you guys looked at the Saab Viggen when shopping for an S4? I see all these comparisons with the 330xi, m3, is300, etc. but nothing about Saab's "performance" model. I stopped by the local dealer today and checked out the 9-3 5-door model and was pretty impressed. 2.3L engine with a single high-compression turbo cranking out similar HPs as the S4--for around the same pricetag ... $40kish . The interior was simple in an ergonomic way. One thing I don't think I could adjust to is the ignition in the center console. Wacked.

Hm...I thought that's called Understeer?? Torque Steer is...
When you accelerate HARD(from dead stops, and near-dead stops), and you can feel the torque from the wheel pulling the steering wheel....as if there's a invisible hand pull your steering wheel to one side.....
