IMHO the Saabs are overpriced, but you may be able to get a good deal since their sales in April were so sucky. I would only consider the Viggen or 9-5 Aero. The rest are, well, the rest. The 9-3 convertible rides like a truck. OTOH, I prefer the Saab interior to the Volvo. I prefer the Audi interior to Saab, Volvo, BMW, etc.

The S60 is interesting looking, but the performance doesn't match the price and the interior is slabby. The S80T6 is nice, you'll grow into it, but it's a big car. Feels big, relative to our A6 V8 quattro. I'd say check out the BMW 330 if you like to drive.

I haven't found Saab I like over my 87 900T other than the Viggen or the

9-5 Aero. I like the S4 Audi...and somewhere I read the S4 was going to get the 4.2V8...as if!
