I've decided on my mod path for the unicorn.

first will be the wheels. I hate the stock 17s currently on the car. These will be my winter set since they have snow tires on them right now.

Will be going for factory 18" wheels on sticky summers.

Next will be a tune. I have a favorite tuner and he has a tune for the 9-5. Boosts power to 270/300, up from 220/258. It will also make ~20 HP more when running E85 so in theory it could be almost 300/300

After that, a moose emblem because Swedish.

Have my dirty unicorn.

Always liked Saabs and yours looks nice. The only complaints I have with the looks are the (fake?) vents by the headlights and the thick C pillar. The thing that I really liked was the quality interior that felt luxurious without being too complicated.

My old 9-3 was an awesome car and I miss the heated leather seats. Also wish they didn't get rid of the sloping hatch in their later years. Being able to drop things in the back of the trunk is underrated. Shoving things towards the back of the large trunk with my old S80 was always a pain in the ass.

Like the idea of different factory wheels. Can the transmission handle the power?

Yep, they share this transmission with the aero which has 300/300. Essentially i would make the same power as the aero but getting 4 cylinder fuel economy. Win

I will have to check to see if its fake or not. I actually like the thick pillars, gives you that sense that its built like a tank (which it is)

Continental DW are great in the summer, fall, and love the rain. I have them on my R and love them.

My friend is going to be buying one of these (in a turbo) from his parents. It's either a Saab or a Trailblazer. I convinced him to go the fun(ish) path. It was the first turbo car he drove, said it was really strange. His parents are convinced by their mechanics that it requires special service because of the turbo and the fact it is a Saab.
