Sedan's grown on me.
Still on the fence with the wagon.

Re: Leaked Saab 9-5 shots reveal new details
Sleek indeed....I really like the wagon. Nice to see more influence from the Aero X concept showing up in production cars.

Re: Leaked Saab 9-5 shots reveal new details
Glad Leftlanenews acknowledges Saabsunited (1st site to post them).
These look like very 'loose' CGIs of what the car will look like. The wagon, in particular, looks way off when compared to the veiled wagon that was shown on Saabsunited before. And... where the Hell did they get the info that it will have a 3.6L V6, when the 2.8L turbo in HO tune is putting out power numbers smilar to the Northstar V8 (EDIT - and does that without DI)?

GM really ****ed up the lines on this car. Look at the strange lines created by the unnecessary chrome on the front end. And what's the deal with the strange side vents?

Re: Leaked Saab 9-5 shots reveal new details
210 Hp out of a 2.0 motor, why? The colbalt SS motor should be in her at the least 260 Hp. WOW why go backwards.

Re: Leaked Saab 9-5 shots reveal new details
I don't like either of them. I'll have to wait and see if it grows on me but my first thought is that they are really odd looking.

Re: Leaked Saab 9-5 shots reveal new details
Looks kind of bland from the front. I'm thinking it's a watered-down Audi look. Not bad, but not good either.
