I have driven a couple 9-5 Aero 2.8t XWD's, but while I was at Charles River on Saturday I found a laser red 2011 9-5 BioPower to take for a ride. What a great car. I have been nervous, because I feel like I've been spoiled by my '04 9-5 Aero. But the "base" seats are friggin' great in the new 9-5, the 2.0T pulls that 4k lb car like it's nothing, and the 6-spd transmission is tons of fun. Unlike the V6, you let the clutch out and 4-cyl is very snappy. Unfortunately the sales department had closed by the time I got back and I couldn't find out what the "real" price of the car was; sticker was around $45k. I just graduated in May, and I've got a job, but I'm still recovering from furnishing a house, and an NG9-5 is a LOT of car for a 22 year old. Otherwise, I would have no problem bringing one home tomorrow.
Oh by the way, while I was out in the car, some couple bought it. Sweet.
