For my money, the ‘1′ has more presence than the ‘5′ even though it is smaller. Go build it.

Now that roadster is one sexy mother of a car but they need to put a Swedish Saab front on the car. BMW has drasticlally modernised their line of cars without resorting to Asian styling (unlike Audi, Merc!)so why should Saab!? The baby 9-1 is cute but I doubt it will be out in 2007, where do they get this info from? Not so sure about the 9-5X as, yet again, it isnt very Saab like. Why doesnt Saab hire Swedish designers who now a thing or two about Scandinavian design? BTW did Michael Mauer design the 9-3SC – great job!

Agree with the above, except that I like the ‘1′ — I think of it as a Saab Golf GTi. “Germahn engineering in da haus, ja!”

If these shapes hold true, it appears that Saab is back to a unique style and technology — a place that it holds well.

WOW! Now that’s a neat way to bring the aero nose to the line-up. It looks like it would also meet all those crazy new pedestrian safety rules. the “9-1″ looks silly but the Roadster and first pic are great. I’d be on board with Saab with them.

Nice on the outside, but Chevy HHR on the inside?
