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.

Howdy,

My civic was made in the US.

Sure, the profit probably goes back Japan, but there's a shitload of good old US citizens employed that made my car.

Just, you know, pointing that out.

(unlike, for instance, GM with their Canada or Mexico or whatever plants)

Yeah, I meant to bring that point up too. At least it helps out our economy some, besides just at the dealers.

I think GM went to Mexico since that's what everyone else is doing to stay alive, I can't agree with that either. As for Canada, I guess I consider them America Jr. so it doesn't bother me. As for the Austrailian GTO, at least it's kind of sporty and I think it was a desperate attempt to try selling something instead of nothing. Hopefully the next generation will be built here, probably beside the next Camaro.
