Yeah, but I want a Saab not a VW :-)
Agreed that the TDI Jetta wagon is sort of close.. but Saab's 1.9 TTID engine in the 9-3, at 180hp and nearly 300 ft lb, is much punchier than any Jetta or Golf TDI in North America, with better efficiency in terms of hp/kg CO2 figures.
You can't throw a stick without hitting a VW TDI in some Canadian cities. The euro+practical+efficiency+some performance niche is relatively large here and only VW is hitting it. It's a good niche for Saab, in both 9-3 and NG9-5 trim, I think, even if they go upmarket from VW (but below the BMW diesels, which are somewhat available, but are 6cyl, pricey,and rare on the streets)
