Default Part out the S4 and get a Saab 9-2X Aero?

My lease is up in August, I was going to buy it out but with this employee discount deal GM is running I am extremely tempted to ditch the 4 year old car and get a new one at basically my residual price, and potentially 0% financing. Thoughts anyone? Who has driven one, How is the fit and finish as compared to the WRX, personally, I would never ditch my S for a WRX, but a Saab finished one with the WRX mods... that tempts me..

What do used 355MM BBKs & Stasis Tracksports go for..

Default BBK goes for $1... to me.

Seriously though, if you're going to part out, I'd like the BBK.

Thanks

Default I've driven one this week.....

I was thinking of trading wifes car (01 A6 2.7t)for one but was generally unimpressed with the 9-2x Aero with auto. The 5 speed I drove a few months back seemed much more lively. Also unimpressed with the leather seats and interior finish. But for the price maybe it's a pretty good deal if you like it. And no ESP?

Default honestly, i think the legacy GT is a much better looking car

id never give up the S for either though.

I can't imagine getting rid of the "S" for anything other than a car with the P-word on it !!

I was hoping for the same, but it's really not Saab interior at all.

Default Saab finishing is **** on this car...

A friend at work just got one. Being curious, I went out to take a look...and it's nothing more than a tarted up subaru, and it shows.
