The Audi/BMW you mentioned are all either compact (A4 + 3-er) or mid-size (Ar + 5-er). The 9000 and 9-5 are in the Executive Class. The A8 and 7-er are Full Size luxury.
Besides, I'd like the comfort and leg room of the next size up car. If I wanted to go down in size, the only vehicle I'd consider is a B5 Audi S4 Avant.
The Mazdaspeed 3 is really a neat car, but it's a buzzy compact car. I've got 2 Miatas that fit that bill and the Wife wants to dump one in favor of a Mini Cooper S.
I've been around quite a few Volvos and frankly, I'm underwhelmed with the craftsmanship, quality, or illogical maintenance layout.
