Saab 93 v Jetta GLX

I have been watching this bb for some months as i was going to buy a 93 as my next car. After seeing the price increases for the 2001 year i don't see the value for the 93. I think the deciding factor was the debate about the Acuras, that saab is not a good value. Try and convince me that the Jetta GLX is not a superior deal to a Saab 93SE. Price Jetta- $24.5 vs Saab SE $34.5 (rounding). Options- the same. The GLX has leather heated seats, burled wood accents, sun roof, monsoon stero, trip computer same as Saab + the GLX tells you oil temp (don't know what good that is but sounds cool). GLX is has less HP but not enough be the deal breaker. Also GLX has 100,000 powertrain warranty. BEST OF ALL IT HAS A FIVE STAR CRASH RATING FOR BOTH FRONT AND SIDE IMPACT. This seemed to be the sticking point in the accrua debate. So, for a nice euro styling car like the GLX, why would i pay $10K more for a Saab 93SE? I think their pricing is way off, maybe its volume related. Not many saabs are produced.
