In some ways very similar- they're made about 100 mi apart.
The Volvo wins in a) quieter prob. because of the 50 series tires rather than the 45 on the Aero: b) the power seat remembers you by the key you use - so it begins adjusting as you open the door- this is neat , my wife is 5-2 , I'm 6-2. c) very cool experience picking up Volvo in Sweden (go in early June)
The Saab wins : just about everything else: faster, better brakes, better steering, radio controls better, almost all ergonomic issues just a bit better on the Saab; better gas milage, the boys prefere the Saab back set for trips; leather a little bit better.
Both trouble free so far 32k on Aero 20 k on Volvo (except dings on Volvo as surfboard fell off rack on Freeway- that's another story) both have rain sens wipers (get this)
You should be able to get the Saab at a much better deal. Although that may have changed recently because of the falling dollar.
Buy the Saab unless the dealer is much farther away.
