Do not overlook the 9-5 wagon!
You can upgrade the ECU in the 9-5 and get a massive inprovement in power. There are not any good aftermarket power mods for the new 9-3's yet. But they will come. But the new 9-3 engine is not expected to tune to the levels of the classic I4 Saab engines.
The 9-5 has a much much better suspension that the NG900's and gen-I 9-3's had. The new 9-3's have a much better suspension now. So both choices now have good suspension. The 9-5 will act like the heavier vehicle that it is. The 9-5 Aero has more power and a performance oriented suspension. Big $$$ to get there. The auto dimming mirrors are great to have and the arc lamps are good too. Again some $$$ to get there.
