Speculative Renderings: 2010 Saab 9-5

From the folks at Motor Authority; Obviously not official, but still very stylish.

Preview: 2010 Saab 9-5
Posted on Tuesday 29 July 2008

The Saab 9-5 is long overdue for an overhaul, with the current model first hitting streets as far back as 1997. A totally redesigned model was rumoured to make an appearance at March’s Geneva Motor Show but its release has since been pushed back to early next year, although it will still precede production versions of the 9-4X and the new 9-1 based on the 9X BioHybrid Concept.

This latest rendering of the new 9-5 shows that designers will be sticking with the avant-garde styling of the original Aero X concept car, and will likely keep the protruding nose, large vents and sculpted bodywork. The car will also sport a sleek coupe-like profile and hatchback rear end.

Re: Speculative Renderings: 2010 Saab 9-5

looks good indeed! Much better than the Lone Ranger look they have going now.

Too bad this is still two years away. IF the brand lasts that long.

Yes we have seen this. Most insiders say it does look a lot like this, but the stance is a different, but better. And the headlights are a little different.

Re: Speculative Renderings: 2010 Saab 9-5

2010? Two years from now?

There must be some confusion.

The new 9-5 with be 2010MY, in Europe that will mean August/September next year. I think the US trails by about 2 months.
