For '06 there was not an Aero model, per se, all 9-5s got the 260 hp 2.3T engine. The Sport Package, though, adds the lowered suspension, sports seats, brushed metal dash and the trip to the Aero academy. For 2007 they have renamed the Sports Package the Aero model.
Regarding the '06 redesign, obviously there are varying opinions on it, but I love it. I have had my 2006 non-sport 9-5 for about a month and think it's amazing. I switched from an '03 9-3SS. My 9-3 was the linear model, so the 260hp and 258 ft/lb of torque blew me away the first time I drove the 9-5. Do a search for 2006 here on this board and you should find some more comparisons of the old 9-5s to the new ones. Alot of people have been impressed by the way they stiffened the suspension for '06+.
As a "switcher" from the 9-3 to the 9-5, I think you might be slightly disapointed in the '06 9-3 interior. It has a much different feel, IMO, with more plastic and less of a "quality" feel to it. This is another personal preference, though, so you should check them both out. I also prefer the wood of the non-sport '06 9-5s to the brushed metal of the Sport models, but that's up to the buyer.
By the way, I think that the cash back on the '06 9-5s is $5,000 with regular financing, or $3,000 with 0% financing.
