Those SUVs have more power than the 9-4x, power mitigates weight.
Now: '00 Saab 9-5 Aero Combi - '89 Peugeot 205 CTI - '91 Peugeot 309 GTI
Gone: '87 Saab 900i - '95 Saab 900 SE Turbo

Bottom line - if first cost and operating cost were not a consideration, yes, I might drive a Cayenne Turbo S and take a few orbits on the space station. However, it does, so I won't be doing either. Your opinions may vary.

the problem is that 2.8T can't be tuned to much car's weight..
But hope SAAB do better after reborn

Ok measured today:
0-100km/h = 7.7sec
1/4 mile = 15.4 @ 149km/h
with 1 foot start 0-100 was 8.0 sec
damn slow.
Another thing i found while high speeding 1500+ wind noise (whish) like there is a hole somewhere. that is bad bug

I got about 8 seconds from 0-100 km/h with my 3.0i. 2011 Saab 9-4X 3.0i V6 0 - 60 mph - YouTube
I expected much better with your 2.8T and 330 hp. I am curious to know how much hp you have at the wheels compared to the base 3.0i engine.

I test drove caddi srx 3.0 AWD - that thing was hellish slow. I know XWD system eats a lot. I did not measure HP (i do not know exact weight, i do not know exact transmission loss) on the wheels but i suspect it will be about 260.
