Here it is closer to the camera. You can really see the light pipe in working order here:

The silver 9-5 sportcombi in the upper right background doesn't look bad from here. Did it get another tweak or has the racoon face grown on me. The headlamp luster looks good from here. or is it an older model? the trailing edge of the headlamps look too upswept to be an older version

that's the current 9-3 in the background, and it's actually more of a baby-poo green than a yellow.

i'm not so sure that's a 9-5 sportcombi in the background, it looks like the 9-2X to me

It is 100% sure that it is the 9-5. It looks more or less OK in the photo partly because of the light and the paint making the "eyeliner" less visible. It still looks like some kind of homemade conversion, the front end doesn't fit - and still, the 9-3 manages to better it with regard to that.

I think the taillights are growing on me. The car looks really sharp. I wonder how the new Saabs will look like when they get brand new models. I actually can't wait.

Can this at least get put in a Saab specific section instead of being lost inside general discussion :/

The only way I could find it was to look up my ID and search for my last post.

Talk about a step child--SAAB doesn't get any love here either. You'd think that sexy yellow convertible would atleast make a thread for what used to be the SAAB brand topic page.

Yeh, this could be combined with the Front Page news that I reported a couple weeks back, and all the pictures within the first couple posts..

O well.
