@nelfrikandel: "The 9-5 got a 5 gear automatic instead of the 4 around 2003MY, right?
Does anyone here know if the 5 gear version has a longer 5th then the
4th in the 4 gear versions??? In other words, does the 5 gear version
run lower revs in the highest gear?
Thanks,
NF"

I found there's a value for the speed in highest gear @1000rpm in the
manual the 4-speed auromatic @ 1000rpm = 46 - 47 km/h , the 5 gear
version does 48 - 49 km/h
That would mean these values at cruizing speed. 
- 
2500 rpm > 115 
3500 rpm > 161 
5-speed  @ 1000rpm =  
- 
2500 rpm > 120 
3500 rpm > 168 
Not much of a difference. Not enough to make it worth my while to
spend more on a 2003 model anyway, exept for the steering wheel gear
change buttons."
