I can't recall the last time I saw a really postive review or high ranking in a comparison test of a Saab. They simply aren't well loved by the US automotive press, who in my opinion place far too much emphasis on how a car handles on a race track (where I'll never drive) and how soft the materials on the dashboard are (which I'll never touch).
I'm not saying to discount the articles entirely or that the new 9-5 is an excelent car (I don't know), but knowing that you've liked Saabs in the past, the press reviews of the new 9-5 are probably not going to be indicative of whether or not you'll like the new Saabs.
