Couldn't have said it better than Larry.

There's really no kick-in-the-pants Turbo madness in the 9-5. The 9-5 is (was?) marketed as a luxury car. Luxury = smooth. The only time I experience lag in my '04 Aero is when I use manual mode and am in third or fourth gear but going a little slower than ideal for that gear. Hitting the gas the engine lugs a bit as the car gains speed, and then WHOOSH it takes off as the computer locks the torque converter and lets the full effect of the turbo come on... but not in one big amazing burst. It's more refined.
