Negative reactions to 9-5? No Way!

i've been reading these boards for a while. very informative and helpful in my decision making process.
i'm looking to buy a new car. i'm choosing between a 2002 audi a6 3.0 and a saab 9-5 (not sure which trim level yet).
i recently went to test the a6. when the salesman started his salesman schtick, i told him i was going to test the 9-5 before making a decision.
boy was the salesman insecure about his product. he instantly started badmouthing the 9-5. he questioned my intelligence for wanting a car that had to be given away with huge discounts. i guess the knucklehead wasn't about to inform me about the incentives on the a6.
he told me to buy the 9-5 if i wanted a car with turbo lag and torque steer. he couldn't be more misinformed. i drove the car and love it.
the salesman even had the audacity to invite his sales manager to the conversation so his sales manager could purposely insult my decision to want a 9-5.
although i haven't made a decision, i think it's cool that a 9-5 can generate so much animosity from some. it makes me want the car even more.
