Like yourself, I typically personalize my Subject line to help organize a thread. My question was to the post immediately to the left of my post, namely SG referencing a wrx.
Like yourself, I'm disappointed to see the 9-5 get so large/heavy. I haven't driven one, so perhaps it does a great job of "hiding" its bulk. Maybe it even feels smaller than the OG.
For most, bigger IS better, and there would be times I'd enjoy the additional volume, but...
I think the OG 9-5 SC is a GREAT size.
A 9-3 SC would probably be OK for me, most of the time. But even using the floor of the back seat, the 9-3 falls way short of the 9-5. Perhaps the OG 9-5 and the NG 9-3 were too close in size, but I still would prefer my OG 9-5 size.
