Why? For a lot of reasons. I've had to sell a car on the private market before, and it's not fun. And I'm not about to get stiffed on a trade-in at the dealer. Additionally, if I'm going to be paying every month, I might as well get more car for the money.
Most importantly, I wouldn't buy a new Saab. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a dead DI at 50,001 miles. I'd buy something sensible that I know would last me for a long time. Because if it doesn't, what's the point of buying it? I'd much rather drive a brand new car every 2 or 3 years then have to worry about expensive maintenance of my high mileage car, which would probably end up to be just as much as I would have paid had I gotten a lease instead.
There are arguments both ways. I've done both, and prefer to lease.
