-OnStar with hands free telephone capability
-150 watt audio system with 7 speakers and CD

"We are prepared to enter the premium compact sport sedan segment with
a bang," said Richard O'Kelley, Vice President of Sales for Saab Cars
USA, Inc. "The car's aggressive design, exceptional 'fun-to-drive'
appeal, and extensive safety features definitely rank among the best in
the segment. Our pricing makes it the best value in the segment."

history, the entry-level Linear Sport Sedan, will be on-sale in the U.S.
beginning October 12. The Arc and Vector (210 horsepower) variants will hit
