The 2008 London Motor Show takes place between July 23rd and August 3rd and Saab Automobile will be there with their current lineup of vehicles. I wonder if the Saab 9-5 will also be present amongst the rest of the product lineup as well.
There have not been any photos of the Saab stand taken at the show yet, but as soon as are, I will post them here.
In the meantime, please visit the London Auto Show’s website here:
Here are the highlights:

‘I wonder if the Saab 9-5 will also be present amongst the rest of the product lineup as well’ – you don’t mean the new 9-5 do you? Sure we know from Trollhattansaab that this won’t be seen until much later this year or early next. The current 9-5s are clearly stated as being present.
