$64 oil change - ouch!; 9-3SS observations

A DC-area dealer just killed me on a full syn oil change. How about $9.24 a quart?!? A little sore from that one! Service manager said all they have now in syn is Mobil 1 -- they never knew who mfrd the "Saab" syn oil, so they made the switch. Just decided to go with it -- no time to double back and buy my own. Next time.
Not really impressed with the 9-3SS while waiting in the showroom. The plastics inside are sub-part to the 9-5 certainly, perhaps even to the departing 9-3 well. Losing the Saab character it seems -- nothing terribly special about it. It's hard for me not to think "Malibu" with that shared platform GM will roll out through its domestic brands in the coming year, although I know it's different in many ways. No doubt it is better than the old 9-3, which was aged when it debuted in '99 as a reborn 900. RIP.
Happy to have the 9-5, who is like a supermodel now with designer oil. My Xmas gift to "Elle."
Happy holidays to all!
