There is nothing more brilliant than a Xenon Highbeam! You can see all the way to China.

Sentronic Steering Wheel Shifting.

A higher average horsepower. While theirs peaks higher, ours sustains a higher average. Meaning, our peak horsepower and torque remains constant throughout the majority of the engine's range (due to the turbo's waistgate control).

Much better ergonomics. You don't have to hunt for buttons in a 9-5.

More Storage.

More Headroom.

Consumer Reports rated the 9-5 as the most reliable/troublefree European car. We won hands down over the others.

BMW, VW, and Audi do not have a factory loaner car program. I.E. If you must have your vehicle serviced at these stores, you might get a ride from the serive dept, or a cheap rental, but never the complimentary like (or better) car provided for your transportation that you will receive from Saab.

Uncompromised Safety. Period. Better than all including the Volvo. I like to say "Volvo advertises safety, but we practice it." Look at the Euro NCAP results on the S70 if you don't believe me.

Incredible Gas Mileage. I've actually gotten over 32mpg on the highway in my Aero!

Stable, Smooth, Quiet, and very Confident at triple digit speeds. Which you certainly cannot say about the Passat. It will go 130, but seems to float a bit at those speeds (not excessively, but it's not nearly as solid as a 9-5 at those speeds).

Great Visibility. I.E. you always know where your corners and wheels are placed. Helps in inner city traffic, and performance driving.

Killer Stereo. Crisp clean vocals! MMMmmm. I love that Harmon/Kardon system with my U2 CD's (Hank Jr. Live sounds pretty darn good too).

I could keep going, but I don't want to bore you.

Cheers,
Brian.
