Your take on these 3 stylish and classy entry-luxury sedans? New model looks great but often dubbed as poor's men benz in the Mercedes family models. Young, fresh styling makes S40 a safe and sound choice Classiness of Scandanavian design combined with Saab's turbocharged engine and legendary safety makes the 93 a very fun car to own and drive.

Hmmm. Mercedes is expensive, even at entry level and needs to be seriously better, reliability-wise, than recent efforts. Volvo S40 is more "cooking" than luxury but good nonetheless. V50 is better looking IMHO. S60 is better. C30 is cute but a tad small. Saab are O.K. but getting very GM-centric these days. Next-door-neighbour has a 9-5 diesel and wouldn't buy another one. Ya pays ya money and makes ya choice.
