Drove the 9-7-- fairly impressed - but hood shaking?!?

The 9-7 would fit the bill pretty nicely. For such a large vehicle, more "fun to drive" than I expected.
But -- going over bumps/potholes (and not overly large ones) -- the hood was doing a good deal of shaking on the driver's side?!? Is that normal for this car? Maybe not adjusted properly.
For me, I enjoy driving my 9-5 in the "S" curves nearby and sometimes pushing it pretty hard -- without getting miserable fuel economy.
Not convinced the 9-7 would be as fun to drive, and it would surely use more gas (but again, I don't drive lots, and since it uses regular vs the premium the 9-5 needs, that's not a big concern).
I might have even signed a lease, except all they had available was either silver or black (and I've really had enough cars recently in those colors). This weekend will check out another Saab dealer, who has the "Lingonberry" available.
