OT: Advice on replacing my wife's Volvo

We're giving up on the '93 850GLT at 98k miles. Too many things still failing. We've put more $ into it that it's worth in just the last year or so. Even our trusted Volvo tech says time to dump it, that the early '93 850s are troublesome cars.
My wife needs something posh and new or fairly-new for her real estate business now. And we're tired of buying them 3-5 years old and footing the bills for the former owners' deferred maintenance.
I see great lease deals on 9-5 Linear and 9-3SE these days, so the choice is going to be between them and the Volvo S60 2.4T. I'm browsing the 9-3 and 9-5 BBs today but would be grateful if the regulars here on this board have any advice for us.
Either way, it'll be our first new car in 16 years. And if its a Saab, the sixth in 20 years.
Thanks in advance,
/Geoff
