Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks Well... I have the 9-5 Aero. It's a more solid frame and a few other minor enhancements than the base Aero, but I'm VERY happy with it. Maintenance is a LOT cheaper than Jaguar or Mercedes. In fact, I don't pay for normal maintenance up to 40K. Though the tires on my car are ~$280 each. It's handling is amazing. Feels just as good as an E-class and better than the 5-series. Haven't driven it in the snow yet. But it's got full function traction control, so it can't be bad! -- Marc Escuro mgescuronopsam.com http://home.att.net/~bryesquire "...when all hope is gone, you know sad songs say so much..."
