New Saab 9-3 vs New Acura TSX

I'm in the market for a new sedan...
I went to the auto show today, and saw both car in person. I feel that the TSX has great inteior , good craftmanship. The 2.4L 200hp iVtec Engine seems to be quite capable. On the other hand, the Saab 9-3 seems to be a bit dull inside, but I really like the built in Bluetooth and the 4 wheel steering. Consider both car are in the similer price range, it is quite hard to decide which car is better. What do you think?

I saw some photos at ClubTSX ,and I really like how TSX looks with the aero package... anyone know are those aero kits going to be avalible ?

It has to be the Saab. It looks a lot better if you ask me. A lot. Its the first Saab i like, it looks great on big (factory) alloys and according to road tests drives about the same as an equivalent Audi A4. Go for it!

I'd choose too the Saab. More luxurious and class. But if you can afford, a 3 Séries or a C Class is surely better. The S60 is alos a good choice...

Saab- the first car that can give teh 3-series a proper run for it's money (and is somewhat better) The 1.8 and 2.0 Turbo motors have finally got a proper chassis, the dynamics are not as god as the 3-series- but still superb, the comfort is second to none and it looks damned good while donig it

Well Top Gear thought the 1.8T Linear was better than the 318iSE and you know how much they worship the 3-series

I didnt watch it, but im speculating they chose it over the 3-series, cos you save £2k or £3k on the same model and with that you can get leather satnav etc... am i right? im right, right?
