Saab already gone bust ... not an option, for a new purchase.

 

VW Passat? It's not even in this league to compare, IMHO

Base on 'total' picture senario: performance (not just how fast, but the total performance package generated by the setup/engine etc), plus 'abstract' stuff like image/brand etc, plus even monentary factors eg resalve value / cost of ownership etc... i know this is a wide 'net' and some may say buying car is about choices not necessary emcompassing all the above aspect, well lets try to be as 'comprehensive' as we could go... [:)]

 

On one extreme, there are buyers who buy a car just because they 'like it', others go thru a highly detailed matrix of pros/cons etc... :blink:

Referring to conti saloon car class hor, not supercars nor exotics.

 

my view is that 1st tier for Merc, BMW, Audi, Jaguar.

 

vw, Volvo, Saab, Alfa are in the "2nd tier" of Conti saloons, followed by the likes of Renault, pug, fiat, skoda etc

 

Top tier for the ultra lux brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce etc.

from:-

germany -- merc bmw audi, maybe VW?

UK -- jag (ok, its owned by Indian company now)

france -- citreon (peugeot has no model in this market segment?)

italy -- any big alfa (equivalent to E-class) in the market now?

sweden/chian -- volvo, sab (confirmed ownership/nationality)

USA -- chrysler (anything else?)

Jap -- lexus, infinity, Honda(Acura)... actually some top of the line Crown/Cedric/MarkX are quite credible

Korea -- Azera, whatelse?

Australia -- Falcon, Commodore?

For info, Saab used to compete amongst the likes of M/B/A/J & seen as better than Volvo/Alfas. They were truly an altenative to M/B/A.

 

Pity GM squeezed the life out of this quirky car make.

 

Saab, the pioneers of turbo, RIP... [bigcry]

Saab is already bankrupt... the jag is intriguing.

With the same budget say for E/5/A6, any other decent choice(s)? [cool]

Bro, want to upgrade liao huh. Maybe you can consider Jag XF. But I can't see whats wrong with Audi. If got budget, get the A7. :wub:
