I have alway driven American cars, Chevrolet and now Buick. I have recently looked at a Volvo because a friend of mine drives them and recently bought an SUV in a Volvo. It operates differently than what I am use to, especially the wheel. It doesn't adjust low enough for me and there are too many gadgets on the dash. The sticker price is high on a Volvo and I am sure more on a Saab. This is just my opinion and if you don't like it sue me (as a famous local writer says in our local paper here).

That is the ironic thing here they are both American cars, or were till sold to China a few months ago. Ford has always been involved with Volvo, back in the 80's they bought controlling interest.
Saab was bought by Chevrolet back when Chevy needed a platform for the Saturn. They played (down graded) with the Saab then threw a Chevy body on it and called it Saturn.
Personally I would avoid both cars right now. They have been sold off, to China now I understand. As with any first generation car there will be problems. Standards will not be as high as they were in the past.

Volvo is owned by a Chinese company, but all development, testing and production still happens in the same old factories (mainly in Sweden, in other words). Volvo is doing good, the new S60/V60 posting impressive sales figures in the markets it's been released in, and there's no reason to think the quality of the product will be inferior to what it was a year ago, nothing has changed with the product, only the ownership.
Saab was not bought by a Chinese company it was bought by Spyker, a dutch high end car manufacturer, much of the funding came from a Russian investor. Saab has yet to release a model that wasn't developed whilst still under GM ownership, so we'll see what they can manage. They do however have the financial backbone they need now.

No it's not an Aero. But it is a XWD 6 speed!
