Tod, Gotta disagree with you on only one point: the glovebox. Any 9000 with a passenger airbag (93? & up) has no glovebox at all! Although they've created a few new storage spots here and there, it doesn't really compensate. I just replaced my '86 9K with a '97 Aero and that's the only thing that's significantly worse about the newer car. BTW, when I had to make the same decision recently (9K vs. 9-5), it was the "hatchback thing" that decided it for me - the ability to carry large items when necessary is a big plus. OTOH, the 9-5 seems to have a considerably larger cargo space when the rear seats are up.
