Saab Loyalist Crisis

As the owner of a 1999 9-5 with Speedparts II upgrade, I thought I had the ultimate car that suited me perfectly. However last night I had the oportunity to drive a new Lexus IS300. Although not as powerful as my 9-5, I was floored by the level of refinement this car had, plus the performance is more than adequate, especially for driving on Miami's clogged streets.
I recently test drove the 9-3SS and loved the car, however it also lacked the refinement of the Lexus (or the 9-5). The 9-3SS seems to be having a few teething problems also.
With the Lexus reputation for quality I must admit I was quite smitten by this car...except for the instrument cluster I even liked the [tight] interior.
Please help save my Saab faithfulness and tell me the newer versions of the 9-5 are smoother and more refined.
