2002 Viggen end of lease thoughts

My MY 02 Viggen Cnv lease has 4 months to run. The buyout is $21,000+. So, decision time is nearing. While I have loved the car, there are some issues. First, I no longer need a back seat, so I now have more options. Second, I would like the benefit of newer technology such as HID. Third, I'm very unhappy with the stereo. Fourth, I will never own another black car in Fla. Fifth, I wouldn't mind switching to an auto tranny. I have driven all comparable new 4 seaters. For my money, I would keep the Viggen over the CLK500, M3 and S4 cabs. They don't offer enough of a change/improvement over what I have for $60k+. The new 9-3 is underpowered for my tastes. I wish Saab had a Viggen replacement scheduled sometime soon.
I can't afford a properly equipped SL500. The XLR can't hold a set of golf clubs with the top down (how crazy is that?). The 350Z is plenty fast but feels a little spartan and small. Can't get my hands on a Corvette to test but will keep trying. I tested the SLK350 this weekend. Plenty of power and very luxurios when fully equipped. However, the price quickly climbs near that for the SLK55AMG when loaded and also feels a little small inside.
I welcome thoughts and suggestions on other cnv models I should consider.
Thanks.
