It's a good looking car, but the fact that it's not RWD make it completely illegitimate as a luxury car or a sports sedan.

I like the looks a lot

I used to drool over the Viggens at car shows

My dad used to have a 900 convertible which was a blast to drive (i think it was a 900)

I'd definitely get that if I could. I know there are other cars in its price range that have more power, features...etc......but I just love the design of the new 9-3. I always liked the 9-5's design and this is just as good if not better. Not being RWD is a little disturbing but its not a big deal.....what a great car.

Bullsh!t :D

Acura TL-Type S, Volvo S60, Infiniti I35. All competent luxury machines and somewhat sporty. Considering that the CL-Type S 6-speed is right on top of the 330ci, the TL Type-S 6-speed should be right close to the 330i.

And the FWD Audi A4 is a great sports sedan/luxury sedan as well. Also forgot to mention the Volvo S80 and Lexus ES300 which are legitimate luxury cars (along with the A6 and A8 in their FWD guise).
