Although the GLX V6 is not the same engine as the current troubled one, which potentially affects 600,000 US VW/Audi drivers, I just wouldn't be interested in buying a product from a company like VW/Audi.

And although my grandmother has an aloe vera farm on the border of Mexico in South Texas, I don't think I want my 30k car built anywhere near there.
Finally, what is the price of a new GLX V6? What is the price of a similarly used Saab 9-5 wagon? The Saab will no doubt be the better straight price and this is before you consider the price of reliablity.
