I just drove the base S60 last week and liked it a lot. The interior is well designed and the shape is nice. Handling and accelleration were o.k. - I'm sure the T5 would be fantastic. The T5 has more horsepower, but the torque curve is better on the Viggen/Aero. We would consider it, but since we're leasing, it's too expensive. Volvo just doesn't have the great lease deals that Saab has. Plus our dealer is only taking orders, and won't budge on the price.
I felt the car was more like the 9-5 than the 9-3. It's much bigger and doesn't have the same sporty feel. And, of course, isn't a hatchback - though it looks like one, and should be one, in my opinion. Test drive a 9-5 Aero before you decide. Saab had a 3 year lease on an Aero for less than $450 which will beat anything Volvo can offer. Whichever you choose you'll have a great car. Another good one to drive would be the new C-class.
