Just got back from dealer (in US). Drove an 05 9-3 Linear 5-speed manual. Ride was nice. Turbo felt smooth when needed. However, I felt something kicking down at my right/accelerator foot. I couldn't quite see what it was, as it was dark. Felt like a loose panel maybe. I also learned... 1) Onstar seems to be out for 2005. Salesman indicated they are phasing it out. 2) In the showroom I spotted the ever sexy convertible...final assembly point: Austria??? What's with that? 3) German engine, Japanese gearbox....hmmm. - tex
