Wey Hey! Some will inevitably disagree with this statement, but my advice is to avoid the new shape 900. Saab made a *lot* of mistakes with that one (I won't go into it since it's been done to death, if you're interested, google). They rectified a lot of those mistakes with the 9^3, but I'm still not a big fan. The 9^5, OTOH, is still very much a Saab, and a superb drive. It doesn't have the same character of the C900 - none of these cars do - but it is a beautiful car, and would be my choice should I decide to give up my C900s. -- Grunff
