All they have to do now is change the 9-3 and my 23year love affair with Saab will come to an abrupt end. Eduard,

We'll see. Eduard, what you described of 9-5 cooking may not be “fine cooking” but more like how I COOK which is “experimental microbiology ;-)

GM you would like scale economics???? OK two cups!!! the instrument cluster from the 9-3ss, the steering wheel from the 9-3ss, panels and trims it seems the same as the 9-3ss in some terms, and the worst of all.....the audio and climate controls from the cheap GM versions of Pontiac, Saturns and so. It is incredible because you take a look and see that thos audio and climate hasn't any connection with the other buttons of the car... this is like cooking.....you take a 9-5, take a little of 9x, some cheap components of GM, some parts of the 9-3ss, shake during few months, and that's the result. the interior is just horrible……..the worst of the car.

One good thing about a new model is the effect it has on prices of the old one ( which remains my favourite of the two) and might mean that a current 95 aero wagon is suddenly a lot more affordable.... and to me this is already a very appealing & "sorted" car anyway. pt No sign of a V6 t/turbo at this stage for the 95?

You're right, the photo is exactly the same, right down to the image on the nav screen. But, these are the photos attached to the press release for the 9-5. As another guy mentioned to me earlier, someone has goofed!! I agree with Martin, I think the car looks pretty darn good. There's beena lot of knee-jerk reactions to it, but I certainly wouldn't mind having one in the garage. Martin, Mats,

I managed to sneak a peak at one awhile ago and the dashboard itself is unchanged but with a new layout of most buttons and controls.

Love the new images! It is nice to finally see the car, in good quality images! I must say that it looks really good to me! Regarding the interior, check this link showing the interior in the 9-3: http://www.saab.com/main/image/model_intro/image_gallery/2006/93_S_int_5_large.jpg. Everything is exactly the same as in the picture said to show the 9-5. Every line, every button, even the image on the nav screen... I personally think someone is playing us a trick but who knows... /Martin Hi there! Love the new images! It is nice to finally see the car, in good quality images!
