Kent, I won't worry if I were you. I got rid of my 140K 1994 900S a few weeks ago, and got a 205BHP 9-3. The improvements were noticable within minutes!
I happen to live in a part of London (UK), where there are main dealers for Lexus, Volvo, Mercs, Jaguar and others on my main road! I tried all of them in test drives, but the SAAB was my final choice. I do like the Volvo C70, especially since I have owned 4 volvos in the past. But the C70 is far less refind in handling on un-even surfaces and build quality seems inferior to the 9-3.
The Lexus IS200 is also worth looking at if you are into gadgets as well. And the BMW 328 and Audi A4 are in the same league of the 9-3.
But the 9-3 is more comfortable and I can confirm that 130MPH is possible, with no pulling etc.
