It looks like you are looking for a sedan which makes that a lot easier. I agree with Seth- Volvo is probably closest. Maybe A4 or 3 series would be a pretty close also (now that 3 series is a turbo, and if you live with snow, maybe look for ones with Xdrive).
If you were looking at a hatch, the choices are fewer, but BMW's 3 series GT or 4 series Gran Coupe might work well. Out of the box options would be Porsche Panamera, and Tesla. I also kind of like the BMW X1 as something a little similar to the 9-3x. Raised wagons are kind of useful here (X1 is quite popular here, and 9-3x might have been if the company had been more stable when it was released). The extra height + awd is useful in snow, without being so raised as to be not fun to drive.
The last 5 or 6 options in your list may be perfectly acceptable cars, but really have very little in common with SAAB (other than 4 wheels, similarly sized sedan outline, etc).
This is something we will all be faced with at some point as our SAABs age. I'm putting this off as long as I can as I feel the industry is in a state of significant flux: I think electric drive trains are going to become much more common place, so I'm definitely interested in the Teslas and other offerings by major players like BMW, Porsche, etc.
