What > where you impressions? I just drove a 9-2X Aero this weekend and it's nothing to write home about. I'd heard Saab/GM was anxious to make deals on these and get them sold but there were no deals other than 0% finance. As for the ride itself, it's ok and does get up and go but the interior is quite cheap. It's a step up from Subaru but still feels like you're in an entry level jap car...my 90 Civic Si had a better interior. The price is steep, once you add one of the option packs you are up to $29,600...$31,200 if you add both packs. Now, for that price you can get a real Saab 9-3 Arc. I was looking for a ~$20k car and thought if there were good deals on the 9-2X it might be worth it....I'm picking up a 01 Viggen on Monday:)
