I loved the old 9-3. The new 9-3 without the hatch convinces me I might as well have a 9-5 with more room. Even if a 250 HP 9-3 was available I would pick the 9-5 unless the 9-3 was a coupe with a hatch.
I haven't test drove the vector version of the new 9-3, but the handling of my 02 9-5 aero feels just as secure as the linear 9-3 for and is adequate for my aggressive driving needs. I feel the same way about a BMW 3 series vs. a 5 series. They are just too similar in many ways and I would opt for more room than less. I felt like the hatch helped steer me one way over the other. Oh well it is what it is....I like my aero, but miss my Viggen.
