did i miss something or is this true, i thought it was going to be a five speed?

 

Just some guy working for the website that got his info wrong!

Scroll down the page, they even talk about the 5-speed

 

thats what i figured..... to bad though

Technicaly yeah its a six speed 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear

 

Why 5 speed and Sweden? Is it a volvo gearbox?

 

its built by saab. the ss/sc's tranny is directly from saab.

 

Volvo = Ford Motor Company

Saab = General Motors

If you've ever taken an LSJ apart, you will see SAAB labled on MANY parts

 

Oh i see, the saab 9-3 2.0T has 5MT also. So the new SS is like a 9-3 with lower price and weight but higher power? great. Now they need to make a convertible version.

not quite...9-3 is rwd if i remember...it does use alot of the same components though

 

HECK NO! its on the epsilon platform and its FWD!

the X version is 4awd though.

 

No, the TC is like a front wheel drive solstice gxp coupe without independent rear suspension.
