TL VS Saab 9-3 Aero and avg Lease Prices

OK all I am in the market since my current 03 TL type S is due. I have test driven both cars and besides the HP difference both are great cars in my opinion. Now if possible let me hear your opinions since many are owners of the TL and might have experienced some problems. Also if anyone wants to post what they are paying for a lease that would be great. Thanks again

I had test driven the 9-3 and 9-5 Aero prior to purchasing my TL. This was done as I had owned a 900S in the past and was happy with the performance. I just couldn't get past the turbo lag on the Saabs. Along with that it is built on a GM platform. Just couldn't spend that kind of money for a car built on a low end GM platform. As for my TL I have put 7100 miles on the car since I purchased it in late Oct of last year with no problems to speak of.

The GM-ness kills it for me. I'm sorry.

Isn't the Saab like 200hp? My b'law has the mid level Saab 9'3 and I let him drive our TL. Both are stock and he loves our car.

picking up a 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero to replace my wifey's 2002 RSX this Saturday.
we were able to get a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year at $404/month.
no money down...just the inception ($1300).

the Aero was with AT, Heated Seats, Moonroof (Std.).
