Perhaps you could get th URL for Tim? Cheers. Eduard, I was just about to ask for a source, but you’ve beaten me to it. Perhaps you could get th URL for Tim?

Look at the logo and the stereo, they look tamperd with, the pixels are wrong. When looking closely at the pixels of the steeringwheel it looks like someone pasted it onto the pic...

I think this is what you're getting at, but hey -- let me restate it. While the BLS interior isn't as nice as the 9-3s, everything looks in place -- whereas the same components in the 9-5 look decidedly out of place. The next big questions are the instrument cluster and the SID. Will the new 9-5 have a 9-3 like cluster, or will it be BLS gauges backlit in green? What about the loss of the SID? It looks like messages will be able to be displayed in the speedometer, but that defeats the whole purpose of the SID doesn't it. Some of this is probably being done to reduce assembly complexity -- since the BLS will be built in Sweden I believe. What's going to happen in 2008 when ALL Epsilon cars move to Germany? Are they all suddenly going to become the same car? I sure hope not.
