The SW2 was big enough for us. The LW200 is bigger and more comfortable
with a leather interior and heated seats but since we also have a mini-
van we did not necessarily need the extra space of the LW200. Also the
SW had a longer run, lots of people able to work on them, parts easily
available (for now).

Well they did away with the SW body, and I hear they are hard to find.
The Lw series was also phased out, I have trouble finding someone who
knows anything about the LW200 with a manual, as it was a "new" to
Saturn transmission (from Saab I think). Also becuase of fewer cars out
there the glass windows on the LW are more (yes we have a crack in the
windshield).

The Relay is what is coming off their line currently for "big cars". I
am not thrilled with the Relay, though have not seen or driven one yet
in person.
