I will be looking for a nice used car in a few years. A late model 550i was at the top of my list...until now. This car is above and beyond all inifiniti's of the past in my opinion. discuss!

2010 Saab 9-5 Aero XWD. Should be worth nickels on the dollar in 3-4 years.

yea and since they STILL haven't gotten it right* I'm guessing the infiniti will run circles around it in most ways.

*latest C&D review states poor quality interior, handling, etc when compared to others for the price. I've been in it as well and i think the M is just built better and will also be easier to attain than similar germans in a few years.

i think the main issue with the 2010 9-5 interior is/was the flat black plastic in the dash, used in place of the original design because of supply issues. next year i think they will be using the gorgeous green-ish glass? that will be very different from anything their competitors use, and looks quite beautiful in photos.

as far as handling, the XWD and HiPerStruts seem to equal class-leading tech. it's simply that the car is (or feels) too heavy, due to an under-powered/heavy V6T and a under-powered/lighter I-4T. for such a big car, they need more than 300HP in their top trim flagship.

absolutely right. If the Aero trim had >350hp and those unique, high quality textures, it would be much more competitive. That's another debate though, and the M is already released. Has anyone driven them? I wanna know what it's like. Also, what are you opinions on the outgoing model? I like their stats and how they look on the outside, but the interiors seem too much like glorified maximas to me. I'm glad they upped the quality, much more on par with the competition.

lets hope not or else saab is going to be in financial trouble .... nobody wants a car that is constantly losing money .... thats part of why they are in the trouble they are in now
im thinking of going the g8 route when i graduate and want something a little more refined then the base 9-3 i have now
My father just got a nice G37x and he loves it. Infinity has done a lot of things right. I've always been a fan of the Infinity M and I agree with Palmer. I like that car in a different way than most, but I really really like it.

I gotta agree with the beard on the 04 m45. Its badass green hornet style.
There are 5 on ebay right now.

Hmm, perhaps I'll see what the wife thinks of them...

Id say step off the pipe. You really want to drive this car? You think it'll be more fun than the tl? Of course not! Its cool to look at, as a starion esir is cool. But not to own.

If I was to do a 4 dr sled type car, a marauder or impala ss would be ultimately more cool.

And cheaper to buy too...
You could get a sti for under 20k too. Not a sled type car, but damn isn't that a fukin riot to own?
340 hp, RWD?


That sounds more fun that 250hp, and FWD. Well, to me anyway.

I could sell the TL, buy one of these and have $$$ left over.

Basically, she wants RWD and a V8, she does just not know it yet.

And by "her" I mean "me".

Wait, no.
I mean a 96 impala. Cool car. Or a marauder which you know has the mod 4.6 which is bolt-on happy as any stang
Yeah, and both are slower to 60 than a V-6 accord of the same vintage.
A wife is just an excuse for buying one more car.
And steady sex too for that matter
But the burnout buddy! Its all about the burnout and fishtail. You know this. Don't even front...
