The NEW Saab 9-5 has been revealed...

But this is not a public website?

Here is the original:

No, it's mine. But it is confirmed and all over the internet already. The swedish automag. Auto, Motor & Sport writes that the press couldn't release the pics for another month, but Autobild broke the agreement.

"Henrik B." gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

As ever, Swade's got some good info - including the inside story of Trollhatten's reaction - on SaabsUnited.com

I'm not impressed. It looks like a dozen other bland US and Japanese sedans. Hopefully the new guys will do better - they certainly can't do worse.

It looks like s*it. Must have been styled in the US or China.

SAAB are going to have to do something fix the drift to bland. Subaru now occupies SAAB's perch on the tree.

It looks to impress: My car is longer than yours... It is too big for me as I need to park it in reasonable spaces. But I wouldn't mind one if I won it.

Yawn.

What's new about it ?

I see it still has Auntie Edna's glasses over the headlights. How about some radical Swedish styling instead of trying to lokk like a BMW ?

Please bring us a facelifted 9000 so we can have a true executive hatchback.

I'd say it's Saab's deathknell. For Christ's Sake get rid of the US oriented Plastic Chrome and the high bonnet line. What are they going to put on it next ? Spinners ?

Squared.

Very boring. For the UK climate a hatch with rear wipe is ESSENTIAL or you can't see what's behind you in the wet.

can't see what's behind you in the wet.

Think Italian, if it is behind you it isn't important.

can't see what's behind you in the wet.

Is that a reference to "wassa behind me eesa not important!" ?

can't see what's behind you in the wet.
