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.

Hey Eugenio,

Are you living in toronto these days or montreal?  If you want a lexus/toyota car, lemme know.. I have a good friend who works as a marketing mgr at their head office that can get employee discount or first crack at the exec demo models.

Mike.

well... Toyota has nothing to offer that gives some fun back while behind the wheel.
Lexus in the other hand might have 1-2 options available.
I'm in TO this week-end... and will be going to the Detroit AutoShow on sunday.
Will you be @ the party on saturday and/or going to the show on sunday ?
if so, let's talk.
