Saab vs Lexus ES300 and GS300

This week while on vacation, I had an opportunity to drive a Lexus ES 300 and a GS 300. Both great cars, but they lacked the sophistication and refinement of my 00 9-5 Aero. Neither one of the Lexus' had a trip computer, that showed distance to empty, gas mileage, etc. The cabin of the GS 300 was huge and I thought the ES 300 was a little smaller than the saab. Noce features that my saab lacks is one touch up and down on passengers window and one touch close on the sunroof. Lexus had both.
I must say that the GS 300 had good acceleration off the line, I would say it matched or outperformed my Saab. (I know this will generate a lot of discussion).
I was really considering a Lexus, but given that teh GS 300 is a rear wheel drive car and I live in New Hampshire, I have come to the realization that this will not happen.
