To answer your question, I think that given a reasonable discount off sticker, the 9-5 is an excellent value, particularly if you prefer front wheel drive. You have a larger car than a 3-series BMW, a less expensive car than a 5-series, Mercedes 280, Lexus GS. A better equipped car than the Acura TL and Volvo 850/V or S70. Especially with the 4 cyl, which has more power than anyone needs. On the Saab web site there are interesting comparisons to all the other models in "the class". The suspension is slightly soft, is my only concern and I would opt for the wagon knowing it was stiffened up, but since it's new it may be harder to find a deal. Hope that helps!
