unfortunately the discount is the largest factor this time around…otherwise it would be no question a new 328ci in january. for the 3rd lease in a row.

my mother will not be in a wagon until she dies and is in a hurse.
I guess you would have to know her.
She is pissed off at getting a 4 door so she wants a sporty 4 door as close to a BMW in style and luxury as possible under the GM/Ford Umbrella.
Simply is the saab 9-3 aero the car that best suits this?

the straight 6 is about 10K cheaper but this is decently optioned I would say about 50%, its missing all of the DVD nav stuff and a bunch of stuff.
the volvo S80
[http://www.designyourvolvo.com/dyv3/config/models](http://www.designyourvolvo.com/dyv3/config/models)
they have a bunch of cool videos here
[http://www.volvocars.us/campaigns/news80/geneva/default.htm](http://www.volvocars.us/campaigns/news80/geneva/default.htm)
the less expensive option to most of what your considering is the lincoln MKZ
[http://www.lincoln.com/shoptools/config.asp?configAction=configTrim&brandCode=Lincoln&modelYear=2007&vehicle=mkz](http://www.lincoln.com/shoptools/config.asp?configAction=configTrim&brandCode=Lincoln&modelYear=2007&vehicle=mkz)
it is front wheel drive or all wheel, heated leather seats, and can be optioned with the THX sound system that will make you cream your pants (so i’ve herd anyway) this one nicely optioned should run low 30k’s (I came up at 32K with THX audio, heated/AC leather, and HIDS with the FWD model 33,700 with the same options with AWD)
oh and not only does this have heated seats it has AC for the seats as well :tup:
does GM (any devision) make anything to compare to those 2 cars? i’m not really up to date with gm’s stuff like I am with fords.

Knowing his mom… not only can I not see her in an Impala, SS or not, but I can only imagine what her response would be to the suggestion.
