Well, that's complete BS right there. That "metallic trim" might have been in teh classic 900, but it's hardly original, it's derivative of BLS, and it's cheesy.

The Saab 9-5 line, refreshed inside and out just this spring, begins at $35,115 for the 2.3T sedan, and $36,210 for the Aero Sedan - both representing an excellent value in its segment. Customers seeking more cargo options can hop into a 9-5 2.3T or Aero SportCombi starting at $36,115 and $37,210, respectively.
With its exemplary safety, surprising functionality and standard fuel economy, the 9-5 SportCombi is an excellent option for those looking for a sophisticated alternative to a traditional truck.

Talk about a massive price drop!!!! GEEZ!!!

The Saab 9-7X sport utility vehicle, which made its debut in 2005, is an enticing option for drivers looking for the ride height and versatility of a SUV with sporty sedan-like road manners. New for 2007 is standard turn-by-turn navigation. The 9-7X 4.2i and the 9-7X 5.3i V8 are priced at $39,735 and $41,735 respectively.

Big whoop.
