seriously.. how old is this car now? It is in dire need of updating. The revised "Lone Ranger" frontend look isn't going to bring in many customers.
The platform dates back to 1998. The 9-5 replaced the 9000 in Europe for the 1998 model year and arrived in late '98 in the US for the 1999 model year. So yes, it is quite old.

The Typical Honda/Toyota driver: You are bland and boring and risk-averse. Not to mention you could care less about buying a foreign junk car. These are dependable cars, no doubt, but lack any substance or style. Crappy handling and worse styling. Screams "I have no style or class and live a boring, meager existence. Please let me get over into the exit lane." ~ Posted by Steve11115555 on Forbes.com
