I would consider Saab a "near-luxury" brand that has performance-oriented characteristics. Most Saabs have four-cylinder engines (with turbos), so you're going to hear the engine a little bit when idle. I've always thought that Saabs had bit noisier cabins than they should. Saabs aren't Lexuses or MB's -- both in price and ride characteristics.
I would actually consider Saab as a more sporty cousin to Volvo, and is a luxury car inasmuch as the Volvo is.
Your mom's Lumina may have a smoother ride -- I haven't driven a Lumina -- but my guess is your 9-5 is a lot more sporty, which can affect ride quality on rough roads.
