Reliability issues and lease question

I leased a 2001 Saab95 Aero. I have had the following problems:
- blown turbo (Saab tech noticed the infamous blue smoke)
- burned out catalyic converter
- faulty water pump
- ignition spark plug housing burned out (I noticed the smell)
- air condition failure
- both head lights blown
- interior light switch replaced
- numerous repairs to the vent and heated seat display lights (still not fixed)
I am already in deep trouble since my lease is for 36 months/ 36,000 miles and I am currently at 39,300 with 8 months to go. I don't want to purchase this car at lease end and I would like to lease or purchase from another car maker like Acura or Lexus or Mercedes. I have yet to talk with my dealership about working something out. What are your thoughts about the car's reliability and my lease situation?
Thanks
