I recently replace my Lexus GS300 with a 2001 9-5 SE. Although the Lexus has higher engine rating (225HP inline six), I just can not feel the extra 25 hp. 9-5 is much faster, and the auto transmisstion react much more intelligently in quick acceleration. The GS300 always hesitates in down-shift, and always up-shift before maximum torque can be delivered.
In terms of quality, the Lexus has zero problem in three years of hard driving. The durability seems to be excellent. However, the fun factor definitely goes to SAAB.
