I obviously can't speak to the new 9-3 cabrio (because it doesn't exist! :), but IMHO as nice as the current Audis are they are terribly, terribly overweight, "disconnected" cars. I test drove a couple A4s prior to buying my Alfa, and neither the 2.8 nor the 1.8T felt very sporting. Very nice cars, sure, but I didn't feel at home in them, and certainly felt very detached from the road. The only 9-3 convertible I've driven was a Viggen, and despite some nasty cowl shake it at least *felt* like something that would be a blast to drive on a regular basis, the twistier the road the better.
If you're going for a weekend cruiser, by all means you can do worse than an Audi. But assuming nothing in the character of the car is lost with the new 9-3 convertible, I'd personally hold out out for it.
