yup, like Adam said.
You will find that most other options "are not a saab" so definitely keep an eye out for a newer 9-5 wagon or maybe 9-3 combi if the size is adequate.
Like NoSnaab says - V70/XC70 would be the next closest thing to a 9-5. Audi A4 wagons of more recent (2.0T +) vintage have grown in size and may be a reasonable option, also the BMW wagons... Ask Les about the Volvos (or search). He's got one!
Subie is going to feel quite a bit different, but the Outback is not bad - ask NoSnaab re the maintenance (he had one). Some "normal" things can be a pita (eg changing spark plugs), but there is always going to be something like that with modern cars and there is usually a solution!
You had said "wagon" but then listed a number of crossover vehicles, so perhaps the net you are casting is much wider, which will give you many more options. Definitely test driving will help with this!
good luck!
