Hi. I'm a new member of the Saab forum. I'm thinking about buying a 2005 9-3 Convertible. The good news is that Saab's offering a lot of incentives to buy one before the year end. The bad new is, the selection is very limited. I've found a Linear. I like the color combo, but I'm not jazzed about the stripped down nature of the model. Do you think I would be better off waiting a few months and buying an Arc or Aero on the used car/trade in market? Is the 175 hp engine in the Linear sound? Thanks in advance for your input.
