Yeah, test drove one of those. Certainly a very refined interior, and an absolutely gorgeous exterior shape. But a couple of things bugged me. 1) the suspension felt like it was the same as that on our '96 850 Turbo. It makes for fantastic highway cruising, but in town, any ruts and it hits hard. It's like they tightened it, thinned down the tires, and called it a performance setup, but it isn't really, IMO. 2) Although it has a large trunk, getting stuff into and out of it looked really hard, as the trunk opening is pretty small. 3) it's in it's first model year; we made that mistake with the 850, and realised we should have waited a year, which is why I have an '01 Viggen, rather than a '99 or '00.
