I'm a sedan fancier, myself :) The 9-5 > sedan reminds me very much of the old(er) 9000 CD model. There was a TV program a while ago, quite revealing about a car dealer. They followed this car dealer around in his daily work, and he slipped some interesting secrets. On one occasion a couple wanted to buy a car. Dealers love couples because they can play them up against each other. After some time the dealer left the couple by themselves to come to their own conclusions. The dealer, however, 'forgot' his little calculator on the coffee table. As you perhaps have guessed, the calculator contained a small FM transmitter such that the dealer could listen in on the bottom line that couple was prepared to accept!
