I suspect that even with the inherent disadvantages (greater weight, higher COG, extra drivetrain losses with AWD) any SUV/CUV has, the X3 has good driving dynamics. SAAB's do have their own inherent disadvantage with FWD.
I did pull up Edmund's prior to my previous post, and the 9-5 does have appreciably more front and rear shoulder room, more rear leg room (didn't check front, would guess more), more storage space (rear seat up or down), and tighter turning radius. All appreciably better.
