Its a T, Brian. Just had to have the “left dipped beam” replace whilst I am here in the US. A whole $43 including labour at Kuni Cadillac Saab in Beaverton Oregon and that included the free car wash. A very swanky dealership with five, yes FIVE, Turbo Xs on their lot. Four SC and one SS. All automatics which is a crime IMO but as the guy at the dealer said to me “Americans dont like sticks”. One guy at the dealer LOVED the glacier blue paint as well!

Jeff,

My comment was to Zippy mentioning not liking the 9-5 in the above article? I probably would not have bought 07 9-5 Aero if I did not like it!

Zippy – rare colour combination in Canada, is it a big T or little t…if a little t then BSR or Nordic tune it or something the extra horses will amaze you even more.

Congrats.

glacier blue! You will have no problem finding your car in a parking lot — and get rid of that ugly front plate bracket!

Brian – So you hate awesomeness, old-schoolosity, and power?

Hate the 9-5…it is awesome, old school and very powerful especially in 07 Aero trim 06 -08 models are quieter than <05

I also have a 06 9-3SC2T more refined handling, handling smoother, profile of tires has something to do with it I suspect.

When you let loose on a 9-5 for power and touring with thoose seats, especially if they are ventilated the 9-5 is really nice.

What took you so long to join the fold? As someone here said, BSR or Hirsch, and you will never look back!

Thanks to you all. Just got back from a one hour drive. Where did I go? Nowhere, I just wanted to drive.

excellent assessment!

congrats!

had i known how fun and sexy, yet practical, the current-gen 9-3 is, i wouldn’t have waited this long to get one.

i think saab is the most misunderstood brand and, thus, is the most under-appreciated brand. perhaps, gm can fix those issues, once it gets its financials back in order.

Lucky you. I’m still looking for a nice OG9-3 3-door.
