As my buddy Bruce the Acura man would say "Slob". Personally I always liked them, great mileage eater and lots of room inside. Noice.

Very nice...
My choices were down to the Saab 93 Aero and 04TL... I obviously went with the TL because of the bang for the buck...
I would have gone with the Saab because of the Euro feel and uniqueness...
Beautiful car...
Best of luck...

Brand new Saab? Ouch!! Expect to take a bath on the depreciation. That aside, I like the look of Saabs (exc. 9-2). Nice looking car 3Putt.

to answer most of your questions:
yes, one of the reasons why we chose the car was for safety.
it is my wife's car to use on her 2 mile commute to the train station.
it will also be our weekend car.
we leased the vehicle for $398/month with no down.
yes, it only has 210 HP but it also has a lot more torque than the TSX we compared it to.
and finally, we still have the RSX. i am currently using it until the remainder of
its lease. it will help me give my 2004 TL some rest since it has 20,000 miles.
thanks everyone foe your inputs...

The Saab 9-3 Viggen had some respectable power (230hp/258hp). I wonder if GM had the final say in cutting the Viggen from the 9-3 lineup.

There is talk of a 250hp 2.8L V6 Twin Turbo (think Audi 2.7T type motor) coming out in the 9-3 wagon but I dont know how true the rumor is.

you can also just get the 9-3 now and use the following performance upgrades. this will bring you up to 250 HP easily:
