Had to make the same decision - went Saab...

The decision really came down to AWD vs manual transmission for us. If the A6 came with a 5-speed, then my decision would have been different. But in my opinion, the Saab 9-5 wagon was more enjoyable to drive and still has sufficient handling ability in the snow to get by the 20 times we drive up to the mountain (this is based on feedback from here and other Saab owners I know). If I lived in Canada and thought I would be driving on the snow 75+ days a year, maybe AWD would have won out, but the thrill of the 5-speed, Saab's turbo engine, and excellent handling on dry roads pushed me over the edge. And with near invoice and a $4000 rebate, the Saab was better priced than the Audi. Now I just have to hope that the car really does arrive by the end of the week... I'm a new Saab owner and can't wait to take the car out for a "real" drive. :>
