As title says,

what car would you guys get ?
I'm looking for a family car (sedan) with the following goodies:

• leather
• dual-climate-zone
• heated seats
• HIDs
• sun-roof
• leather interior
• decent handling/power
• automatic (wife doesn't want manual)

I test drove the Subaru Legacy GT Limited edition and wasn't impressed.
Although the AWD was good, lighting sucked, and the triptronic was bloody slow to shift. I prefer the Volvo S60 AWD a lot more compared to that one.
Anyways, what would you get as a car and why ?
I'm thinking on SAAB 93-Aero (2.8V6Turbo: 250hp/258tq, 3175lbs) vs SAAB 9-5(2.8I4Turbo: 260hp/258tq, 3670lbs)... pretty much same price, power.
The 9-3Aero is lighter (~500lbs) but less goodies... so might be more fun to drive, but maybe have less value then the 9-5.
It's a car I want to keep for long (10+ yrs), and have no kids YET, but they might be in the picture very soon, hence the decision for a family oriented car (practical)... but I still want something decent to drive... much better than the 94 civic I have.

Anyways... waiting on input.

the new RL from Acura is nice. BTW...the new Passat is nice too. has more goodies than you can imagine.

my mom has an older Altima with the v-6, i think it would give a stock camaro a run for it's money. she averages about 28 MPG and the new ones have an option for HIDs and GPS units. stock 17" wheels and sport tuned suspension, spoiler, leather, stick shifter...it's a sweet ride if you ask me

RL is too expensive and big... the Passat I am considering.
As for the Altima, wouldn't consider them, since they don't offer dual climate zone and heated seats.
The Maxima does, but for the price, I think the Volvo S60 is a better choice.
I was actually disappointed @ the Maxima test drive and found that the Accord offers more space, confort, support for less, and is actually more fun to drive than the Maxima.
Nissan is out of picture.
