(Note that I've owned Saabs for 18 years so I am probably biased.) I thought the Volvo drove like a truck. It felt huge. It had some practical advantages (like more seats) but it scored low on the "fun" quotient. The Saab was much more nimble and powerful. Even my wife, the Porsche 911-driving snob, admitted the Aero was pretty fun to drive. However, also be aware that I haven't been entirely happy with my Aero, as I've described here. Biggest problem is the incredibly long turbo lag. > > Why not go second-hand and buy both ? > Because I haven't gotten a second-hand car in more than 30 years. Geeze, do you LIKE losing 20% of the resale value as soon as you drive it off the lot? Or do you just always keep them for 200k miles or so, so it's not much of an issue? Gary
