I have owned BMW's Audis and now the Saab Aero. I was cross-shopping the 5-series, the A6 2.7t and the Aero. The 540i was a stone gas to drive: poised, ferociously fast - but civilized, The big issue was price. The BMW 540 six-speed was close to 60K - I negotiated a leftover 2001 down to 48K and then let my friend buy it (my Bimmer dealer is very happy) and I bought the Aero for 34.5K, For that price the other options melted like butter. But, I would not have paid retail for the Saab.
I am a long distance commuter (40-50K/year) so I keep my cars a maximum of two years - so I figure its fun to try different marques. I have been very satisfied with the Aero so far...
Happy Motoring
Eric
