We were in the same boat as you a couple months back and decided on the 9-5 for a couple reasons.
*Liked the slightly larger size - 4 adults in the 9-5 for extended periods of time is very comfortable
*Manual transmission (not available in AWD S60 model)
*Performance - while the Volvo was enjoyable to drive, it didn't even come close to the Aero on performance
*Styling - again, while we liked the Volvo, we gave the edge to the 9-5. Also liked the fact that you see fewer 9-5's on the road
The one item the Volvo had the Saab doesn't is AWD. In the end, we decided that a manual transmission was more important knowing that with FWD, TCS, ESP, and snow tires, the Saab does pretty well in the snow.

- S60 is tiny compared to 9-5. Civic-sized (-), Vlad, Thu, 18 Apr 2002 16:15:48
