When it comes to cars, it's a sensible decision not to buy American.
Secondly, Saab is not classy.
I'm not sure about prices of the European cars in the US but Audi A3 is always a sensible choice and you can buy a decent one for that price, possibly even A4. New Renault Megane is quite good and stylish also

A3
If you wanna spend a little less, I thouroughly reccomend Kia Pro'ceed. I bought one and I'm extremely satisfied.
