By '08 there was only one powertrain in the US. "Sport Seat" was available across the board as an option (base car) or standard on the "Aero". 17" wheels across the board. The Aero IIRC had the silvery dash versus the wood dash on the standard car, but I'm not sure. "Premium Leather" was available across the board except on the (9-3) Turbo X b/c it would have pushed the MSRP of the Turbo X above the "thou shalt not cross" $50,000 mark. The sport suspension is more trouble than it's worth on the latest models of 9-5, IMO, with most of the handling benefit being achieved from the tire and wheel combination and from some other suspension details other than spring rate which were eventually implemented across the board.
