2010 Hyundai Genesis (genesis) vs 2011 Saab 9-5 (revelations)

Kinja'd!!!

So, for $15k you can buy either a 2011 final year Saab or a 2010 Genesis (both 3.8 and 4.6), both with about 60k miles on the clock. They both look the part, they both drive the part, and both are non-traditional entry level luxury.

What do you choose and why...

Genesis. Probably a better built car, and as a still-in-business make it will depreciate much slower than the Saab. Sure the Saab has something of a cult following, but that won't make up for the fact that there's no dealers, no factory support, parts availability will taper off and the value will drop like a rock.

Basically because Saab is out of business. But true Oppo middle management should go for a similar Cadillac CTS from that year

The Saab came with a manual in North America, yes?

Between those two? The genesis. But if I had my real choice:

You might be able to squeeze this in under $15k, if you find a higher mileage example.

Bonus round choice for the Franchise Manager of a Subway:
