    Kind of want.

    I don’t know about others, but this feels kind of ‘phoned in’ to me.

    Truly the old platform needs an update, but this does not seem to be anything special. The front end could almost be straight off of an ’04 FX35, and the body is about as exciting as a Taurus, excepting the work on the pillars.

    I expected something better… In design and mechanics. It´s ok, but I was hopeing for stunning.
    And what happened to right seize engines?
    Looks too audi to me, the wagon behinds looks great though.
    I really miss the 9000 idea of a great car.

    I am wondering what when the official photos are finally released, we’ll see anything different not just in visuals, but specifications as well.

    Here’s hoping for right-sized engines and a hatchback on the 9-5.

    Still enjoying the 1997 Saab 9000 CS!
