Other Choices:

The Acura RL has clean styling outside, a tech-happy interior, and standard all-wheel drive. The Lexus ES 350 is a plush, cushy front-drive sedan with good interior room and a powerful V-6 engine, but almost no care for sporty driving.

The Lincoln MKZ is the polar opposite of the Saab, with a thick style, a retro-flavored interior, and gruff V-6 engines with front- or all-wheel drive. The Volvo S60 has a curvaceous style and V-6 power, but is due for replacement.
