Thanks, but not a chance. The only thing I like about Saabs is they are very
safe vehicles,
but not any safer than the Allroad I'm looking at. The whole point (or most
of it) of buying
an Audi is the quattro drive train. 4cyl and FWD? Forget it. Might as well
buy a mini-van
at that point. Lastly, around here, no one will touch a Saab when it comes
to repairs, and the
closest dealer is at least 1.5 hours away. Saab, fine car, but not my first
choice.
