I am ready to buy a new car right now. It's down between the Mercedes E class and a new 9-5.
Some will think I am nuts to be comparing a Saab to a Mercedes, but I think the Saab is more comfortable and looks better. My old Saab I just sold was a great car. I am not a fan of the mercedes seats. And I like to take long car trips.
The problem is what is going to happen to Saab? I think that it will all work out if they get the word out on how good these cars are, and make some adjustments to them. [interiors of new 9-5 are not as nice as my '99 Saab 9-5.]
It is just hard to dump a wheel barrow of money on something that you know is struggling at the moment.
