I have test drove all three (And the BMW 330i, and 3.0 A4). I bought a Viggen Convertible a month a go. I have had three BMW's before the SAAB. I hate their reliability and service. BMW always made me feel stupid for asking. The only other car that really got my attention was the G35. The G35 is truely the best bargin for performance. But you have to live with the automatic transminssion.
So for the money, I figured I can have a Viggen Convertible for a bout 5K cheaper than the BMW (and a lot less dealer attitue). The Acurra S type is really a boring looking car which is also not available in manual. A4 quality and driving dynamics is quaetionable - The Acura and A4 are glorified versions of their cheaper cousins. The G35 is similar to Nissan but they are also mechanically a world apart.
Bottom line, I live in Seattle where every Joe is driving a 3-Series. So driving a unique car (Saab Viggen) was more important to me. The amazing performance is the icing on the cake.
Now if you can live with small rear seat area, I think the G35 Coup is the winner.
