I love Saabs but wouldn't even consider one for driving 40K a year--I averaged $1,800 a year (over 7 years) to maintain my '91 9000 driving 15K a year. There's no cheap way to drive that much, but if it was me I'd think seriously about a deisel Jetta/Golf. They get 50 mpg, last a long long time, and are very nice to drive on the highway and have the European feel you're used to in the Saab. At 80mph they're just loping along and have so much torque you can dive for an opening in traffic without downshifting. They are actually quieter than the gas car after about 50MPH. Second choice would be a Toyota Camry/Honda Accord/Subaru Legacy--not as much fun to drive but also cheap to maintain.
