Eric: I just got the same car, and as much as more power sounds inviting, am not sure it makes sense to do it, unless it is offered through Saab, and I do not believe that will happen. I have been in a few 9-5s with 18 inch wheels, and you do not want them. Ride becomes unreasonably hard with 40 series tires, and rim damage is almost guaranteed. As for the Xenons not activated on hign beam, not sure if the wiring in the car as it is delivered here would support that. Personally,I have found that the lighting is phenominal in the manner that the car is delivered, and rarely find myself on a road that has no oncoming traffic, so I soubt that I would ever get the chance to make use of the incrementally better high beams.
I find this car deceptively faster than the published numbers would lead one to believe. If I could get a Saab supplied chip, and it did not further erode the fuel mileage, I might consider it, but as I said, it is unlikely to happen through Saab. Aftermarket companies can offer one, but the conditions that you must accept to take advantage of this are unacceptable to me.
Good luck with your car.
