Thanks for all the responses.
I'm in Canada, and the pricing here pits the linear 9-5 against the non-turbo S60. I'd have to go to an aero to make a pricing comparison with the S80.
As for the passat, I think it's a very good car. We drove the 1.8 turbo, manual trans. It was responsive, but not in the same class as the 9-5. There are a lot of things about the interior I like, but the radio buttons are a definite minus, in my view. Very hard to operate, and no redundant controls on the steering wheel, so you've got to use the dash controls.
On the other hand, I wish every car had the vw/audi sunroof control -- a simple dial that doesn't require you to keep your hand on the switch while the roof opens or closes.
I must admit I didn't pay much attention to the S60 backseat. Our six-year-old sat back there in her carseat during our test drive.
The trunk certainly seems smaller, at least the opening.
There are so many similarities between the two cars, though, that it may come down to pricing.
Thanks again.
