I've got to agree with Herb on all of this. The xenons are nice, but halogens will do for most areas. If you do in fact need additional lighting, there are some very good projection units that will light up the road better than any stock xenon setup and with a little work and forethought, can look almost stock, or at least nicely integrated. My wife's 9-5 Aero has the package and I do appreciate the reverse sensors.....not for me, but for her because she's the principle driver and one of my motorcycles is parked directly behind her car. I've seen the rear sensor kit available from Genuine Saab for a fairly reasonable price and it doesn't look that difficult for a decent do-it-yourselfer. The one thing that I thought was somewhat "gimmicky" was the Homelink rear-view mirror. She's had this ever since she had her '04 9-3 Aero. After programming it for the garage door and garage alarm, I enjoyed it so much that I put one in my 9-3. The Homelink, along with the compass and especially the autodimming feature is very nice. If you find the car you like without the package, it can be basically duplicated.
