You are required to buy a car. It must be one of these two. Which, and why?
Sorry, IKEA just opened a few miles from me. I’m on a Swedish kick

The SAAB:
1. That roofline is too beautiful
2. I would rather say I drive one of the last good SAAB’s than say I drive one of the many average Volvo’s
3. About 500lbs. More towing capacity

The SAAB for sure. Especially in manual form. Always have loved how these looked and make me sad for what SAAB could have been.

Saab! Those S60s don’t do anything to me. They may have helped Volvo sutvive through some bad years, but that’s it. At the end of the day it’s a car from their worst period.

You’re right about the Volvo, but isn’t the Saab from an even
WORSE worst period, one from which the carmaker never recovered?

One of the prettiest Saab sedans against one of the ugliest Volvo sedans? I can’t not pick the Saab.

The Saab is way more interesting unless the Volvo becomes a blue Polestar.

Is the Saab an Aero? If so I’ll take it. Love that interior with the brushed aluminum. But I hate the non Aero with the “wood” trim pulled straight out of a Chevy truck

Saab. I see one of those on my commute every so often, in a very light metallic blue (which seems to change a bit depending on how the light hits it).
I know it’s a terrible decision, but I just love that shape. And, in typical GM fashion, they got something right (at least design wise) just before they killed it.

That may be, but at least it looks 100% pure Saab, something that can’t be said about that heavily used bar of soap that calls itself a Volvo.

I think the Saab. If the Volvo were any other color, I’d prefer it, but I really don’t like white cars, I’d hate it every time I saw it.

Had a Saab 9000CD. 5 speed for a couple years..Super fun car. electrical issues ended that. Had an S70 bought at 100k and put another 100k on it. Electrical (abs computer) Even diy attempts at repair were more than the car was worth. Though the Saab was more fun, nobody makes seats as comfortable as Volvo, and there was just something right about everything in the Volvo, down to the non-turbo 5cyl. Would have to say Volvo.

Tough call, Saab if the seats are halfway decent since I’ve never been in on but damn the seats in the s60 live up to the hype IMO. Inferior in just about every other way but the seats are that good.
