I've got a 9-5 and a V70

The 9-5 is so much lighter on its feet, more fun to drive, and gets better mileage than the V70. I'm sure other posts here have said that Saab is into the GM discounting game, so what you pay won't be as much as that $38.5k price you've found.
We went with the V70 to replace an older saab 900 when we already owned our 9-5, because the V70 was available with AWD. The V70 is my car and the 9-5 my wife's car... we both prefer the feel of the 9-5 so it gets driven more. The 9-5 is just more nimble and therefore easier to get a feel for and be comfortable with.
Good luck!
