What are they doing to a car company I have loved for over 20years? I cant see Saab being around to introduce a new 9-5 as GM has truly buggered the whole thing up! Thank god for the 9-3 thats all I can say!! God awful, the front overhang is WAY to big, the front light arrangement doesnt even remotely say SAAB to me and the rear light say Hyundai.

Did you see the spyshots of the new Chevrolet Evanda?? it will come in 2006, it is a sedan made by Daewoo/chevy and the Audio and climate controls are exaactly the same as the 9-5.... go to the website, www.totalcar.hu is a Hungarian website, there is a video of a test of two Opels as they said, Opel1(Saab 9-3ss 1.9TID), Opel2(Chevy lacetti).... as you can imagine this is like a joke... http://www.totalcar.hu/kereso/index.php?keres=Saab&rovatkeres=tv&simple=1 i recomend to take a look at some tests....as the 9000 Aero.. http://totalcar.index.hu/ujauto/link/tv.php3?tvurl=http://dl.totalcar.hu/tc25_01.wmv jejejeje As said my father the other day, “I don’t know why so expectation and scretism with this car when is only a facelift and where it seems that Saab is loosing his well designed and thinked interior, exterior and other gadgets”….

To bad I didn't have my camera with me.

Anyway, the centre console is pictured in one of the earlier 9-5 spyshot stories (click on the 9-5 link on the sidebar to see all the 9-5 stories). I chose Djup Strupe exactly for that reason. Deep Throat was the famed inside source involved in the Watergate scandal that eventually forced Nixon to resign as US President all those years ago. There's no scandal here, but it seemed like a good thing to call my source in Swedish (thank God for internet translators!!) Hey Mats,

If i remember correctly there was twin round dials for the climate control (one for each side). Btw, did you know that Djup Strupe means Deep Throat?

I met it sitting in my own car and when I got out and approached the Saab on foot the driver got a bit anxious and decided to get going :) I got that close that I could se the 9-3 style instruments (aluminum rings and white digits) and the door inlays. Didn't get the time to look att the center console... So sorry guys no info on the dash controls :( But the interior felt a lot more modern then todays version! The funny thing is that me and my wife fell in love with the 9-5 only 4 months ago and are currently just awaiting the facelift. What are the odds of seeing one pre the official launch??? /Martin The car I saw was a black wagon and the version was a 2.3T, didn’t look for the tailpipes.
