Jason,
Sorry to see you go. You were an outstanding member of this board. Not many people had as many intelligent things to say as you. I recently go rid of my 99, 9-5 2.3 sedan and went with BMW for many of the same reasons you went with Acura. When the 9-5 first came out it was one of the top cars in it's class on the road. Hands down. Today it is old, outdated, harsh, way behind in modern technology and as you said "long in the tooth". Sorry to say but a few cosmetic changes here and there are not going to do it in this class and price range. I'm not trying to bash the 9-5 but in this class it is just about rock bottom.
The selections you get from BMW, MB, Acura, Lexus and Audi are way ahead in all areas. Engines, technology, ride comfort, road noise, interior quality materials and on and on. Myabe when Saab replace this old gal in 3 or 4 years it will be as far ahead of the pack as it was when it came out in 1999.
