Aactually, the Passat is 90% derived from the Audi A4/A6 platform, and so is roughly the same age, perhaps older in some ways. In the end, though I think that the VW isn't a good comparison, the Audi is... the VW is a great car, but it is a honda/toyota competitor, with minimal sporting enthusiasm, compared to the audi/Saab. > I'd say both are probably fine choices, but the Saab will have more soul. Well, I decided on a used Aero over a A4 or Passat, and would have bought the 9-5 as well... it's a harder choice, as it's bigger than the A4, and about the same as the A6. Buy what you like, you have to live with it every day. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli | petrillinopsamr.org
