I can't really explain it - it's somehow not there in the pictures, but seeing one on the road gives me that impression... so no thanks.

Easy choice. The Saab. It has a really nice design, kind of Audis design in 1997-2002. It's a really nice car.

However, honestly, if I was spending my own money, I wouldn't get one.

Saab is swedish brand and I'm swedish and I think there are more advantages to buy a swedish car rather than a foreign car. The price and ownership costs are lower. For instance, insurance costs compared to a BMW is much much cheaper with a Saab even if the car has about the same amount of horsepowers. Unfortunaly I dont have the money to buy a M5 and Volvo doesnt intrest me. I think Saab offer a lot for the money. It feels like a safe card. Its more than a year before I change car so time will tell if I buy Saab or not

I must say the biggest thing I have against the Saab and Caddy is their interior quality sucks, especially the crappy handbrake! IMO the vetra has the best interior of the three, but if I was spending my own money here, I'd probably go for a Honda accord, or BMW 3er!

For what I've read it's rather good... until you try to use all of those 240 hp.

Not at all, the whole point of this thread was to discuss which of the three cars based on the same platform we'd prefer.
