it's been around for a number of years, and I have seen it in person, just not in the US. It essentially is a smaller A7, the A7 to me is a bit too big for what I would like.

I replaced wife's 2003 9-5 Aero with a 2010 Volvo S80 T6 AWD.

The S80 has little in common with a SAAB other than it's a Swedish make. It has plenty of power, wonderful seats (even better than the SAAB), nice on the interstate, but handles like a Buick from the 70s and a turning radius of an aircraft carrier.

I still have my 1995 9000 Aero that I bought new in 1995. I've been looking a replacement with comparable size and versatility. The A7 comes close but it's just too darn long and big for my taste and garage, same goes for the Panamera. I would do a station wagon, but there are few to choose from, BMW 3, Mercedes E, Audi Allroad, VW Jetta/Golf, Volvo V. I have even considered the Volvo XC70 T6.

I'm not into SUV SAV crossover etc.... so here I am, years later I still have my 20+ year old 9000 with low compression in one cylinder engine and popping out of 3rd gearbox. The thing is the SAAB still drives better than wife's S80 or my daughter's Honda Accord.

I'm still looking.....
