9-3
The mid-size 9-3 is the sportiest model to be built off of General Motors' global "Epsilon" platform, which also provides the underpinnings for the Chevrolet Malibu and the new-for-2005 Pontiac G6. Still, the 9-3 carries Saab-exclusive styling and preserves such traditional quirks as the ignition key being located on the floor between the two front seats. The car comes in three trim levels: The base Linear, luxurious Arc and sporty Vector editions get a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates either 175 or 210 horsepower, depending on the model. A five-speed-manual transmission is standard on the Linear and Arc versions, while a six-speed manual gearbox comes with the Vector. A DVD-based navigation system is available for the first time on 2005 models, along with several newly offered exterior colors.
