I agree with you.
While I realize that the 9-5 is more akin to the 5 series
in terms of size, and in company hierarchy,
my friends and I were comparing our cars based on
"out the door" prices.
Thus, we were competitors based on that.
And while I have always revered the 3 series position
as the benchmark, after spending considerable time in one,
I don't find the Saab's performance that far off the mark.
The 330 still has the edge as far as precision/balance is concerned.
The sound of the engine, the feel of the steering, the way
the suspension handles each and every curve on the road, silky smooth transmission - all Bimmer trademarks.
But 6 grand more and still has no self dimming rear view mirror?
(yes, it still was an option my friend didn't take).
Oh and no real leather seats either.
For the price, the Aero has the combination of comfort and sport
that's truly hard to beat.
