Appreciate your input. Both cars look good (imho) but I do like the idea of a SAAB since ther are fewer on the road (which I think also means less qualified mechanics). Glad to hear you've had such good luck with them. Sometimes I think how well you fare with a car is largely due to luck (every manufacturer turns out some problem cars) and how well you maintain it.
