Hey, Thanks for your responses. They're all helpful. I'm thinking in terms of the Linear just because of the clearance issue with the Aero. I asked the dealer (in Durango - I live in Telluride) about the possibility of getting the Aero engine in the Linear, or if one could remove the skirts. He laughed. I really like driving a stick, so that eliminates the Arc. I drove a friend's 9-5 sedan, and it seems to have fine power; and the turbo lag seemed minimal. I liked it a lot. It really does seem to have come down to the Saab or the WRX wagon. It's a really fun car, but at the sacrifice of cargo space. And the turbo lag is, for sure, more of an issue; but I expect one adapts and gets used to it. I suppose I could get one and wait for the Saab AWD. Radio stations, Ken? Yah, we get one or two if you're not in a gorge. Cheers, Bill
