There are soooo many things to look at.
With the certified car programs, you could spend weeks looking at cars.
If you have to buy new:
Passat - but no non-german VW's
G35 4x4 - I've driven the rwd and liked it.
Don't know about BMW, but they are including the maintenance.
If you'd consider going the slightly used route:
A6 2.7t
9-5 Aero
both have great certified used programs
The new 9-3 is way beyond a malibu - GM did not poison Saab that bad.
The only common items are the block and the platform which I think Saab had a lot of input in.
Go drive a lot of cars.
The decision should become pretty obvious eventually.
If you are buying new, drive a used verion of the same car to get a fell as to how the age. Talk to the service manager and see the $$ to get to 100k and talk to your insurance person. You'll get a true monthly cost.
Just some food for thought.
