I'm not particularly fond of wagons, but this one looks pretty cool -- very sleek and aggressive, not very boxy. Also, lots of versatility innovations. Heard confirmed reports that there will be a 240hp aero version (and the sedan as well) next year, as well as AWD versions to follow. PS -- Drive the 9-5 and you'll see it's not an Americanized pretender. I'm writing this from Europe; the 9-5 is still sold out here... I'm pretty confident that European consumers (I'm American, myself)are far more discerning about their cars than Americans are -- thus no successful Japanese invasion here. I doubt that so many Europeans would embrace the 9-5 if it was so Americanized... > -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
