AutoSpies.com proves Saab XWD out guns Audi's Quattro and Porsche Turbo AWD?

During the press presentation this week of the 2008 Saab 9-3, they revealed their new Cross wheel drive system (XWD) that will be coming to your dealership in early 2008.

The sad truth is that Saabs are no longer Saabs. They are now glorified Vauxhalls. And that means no one cares about them any more.

Problem is that BMW had already presented a new X5.

So by the time this XWD reaches production Audi will have come up with something better.
