I have a 2000 Lexus RX300 whose lease is up soon. I test drove a Saab 9-5 wagon today and it blew me away. What a blast to drive! I am now trying to convince myself that I will:
A- Not miss the 4 wheel drive in NJ snow conditions.
B- Not need the slight extra height in the storage area.
C- Not miss some of the Lexus creature comforts.
D- Allow the wagon to suffice as the "family hauler" (2 kids under 9)
My main ergonomic complaints of the Saab are very little ccokpit storage room, no real driver's cup holder and no in dash 6 CD changer. My dealer told me the only changes to come in '03 are the manual/automatic trans and the homelink system.
I have had real SUV's as my last few cars and am feeling they are less and less desirable- hence the switch last time to the RX.
By the way I am elligible for the GM Supplier Discount which makes the lease price very tempting.
Any help would be appreciated
Any thoughts or recommendations from you Saab fans out there?
