i will only add that this 'FWD' handles and performs *almost* as good  
as our all wheel drive system. honestly, the Saab engineers really do  
know how to make an all weather FWD vehicle. i have used one many  
times in the gnarliest of winter conditions and it was frightening  
how well it performed...... still doesn't come close to quattro, but  
what can? ; )
