subaru bought saab not gm

 

I believe GM bought Saab. GM also owns 20-30% of Fuji Heavy Industries, the manufacturer of Subaru Cars. Thus, the sharing of Subaru and Saab parts.

 

"Yeah...Volvo's are a joke now that Ford has put their hands all over them."


Your calling a volvo s 60R a joke? My dad had one and it was far from a joke?. Have you ever drivin one? There slightly faster then the s4 b5 and b6. Sounds like a joke to me.

 

well since you can't compare power wise from the B5 to the B6 S4 which one are you saying it is slightly faster I dought it is the new B6 S4 maybe the B5 S4 do you have any numbers on this Volvo S60R

 

nope its saaburu now. seriously. GM does own fuji and while they do make up a great deal of the subaru cars. subaru is still owned by subaru.

 

clconversion.. i think low 5s

 

yeah, volvo says 5.4.

Just a couple of links to validate the purchase which really began in 1993.
GM purchased SAAB.
As a former GM employee I was abel should I decide buy a Saab as a part of my benifits.

Best explaination of the Saab GM Subaru relationship.

As far as comparing an S60R with an A4....well I am not going to comment on that. Besides I think that has already been dully answered....and yes I have driven a S60R. Good power but very heavy for the power. Nice big plastic strip around it! And at 300 HP it is limited by its HP/ wt. ratio.

Acceleration ranges from 5.4 to 5.8 which puts in a B5 S4 class kind of at 5.5 and a 14.2 1/4

Agreed, I just thought "a joke" wasn't exactly the right words for it.


As for your power to weight ratio. The b5 s4 with 250hp has a curb weight of aprox. 3,700pd. The s60r with 300hp has a curb weight of approx. 3,650pd.
