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 ?

Not sure about the current Saab models, but I know that previous models had alot of reliability problems, so you might want to do more research on that aspect. The TSX looks like a really nice car and that would be my choice of the two, but obviously I am biased on the subject. Never heard of the aero package for the TSX, but I assume they will sell a model with the aero package, like they are currently doing with the 1.7 EL. No idea about pricing though, I don't think Acura has announced pricing yet.

Just my 2 cents.

The new Saab 9-3 have loads of features! But Acura TSX looks nicer with better craftmanship ... hard choice! ;(

The Viggen is the only Saab I would buy. But compared to other Saabs, I'd go with the TSX. Although I don't like the name TSX, sounds kinda gay.
