I think its highly speculative to assume the Beemer is the better car. The Saab stops quicker, and accelerates faster, whilc getting better gas milage. The beemer will handle better as its a rear-wheel drive car, but in the snow, it could be a handful. The Saab has more cargo room as well. But the point is still valid, Saab is trying to gain market share, and I think its a mistake to price the SE at 33,500. 31K would be more realistic.
