The second North American preview for the all new Saab 9-5 debuted at the San Francisco Auto Show this past Thursday (Thanksgiving). This show will continue until Tuesday, December 2nd, but the all new 9-5 leaves today to head to the Los Angeles show.

Dino, a Saab History frequenter has been kind enough to share with us photographs from the experience above. It’s nice to see the all new Saab 9-5 continuing the auto show circuit that began in Miami last month here in the United States as it’s European tour was recently canceled.

Here is a summary he provided of his experience:

The show and the Saab booth were relatively well attended, considering it was Thanksgiving. All of the comments I overheard were all quite positive and complimentary about the new 9-5. Many people examined it from all angles. The new 9-5 has real presence – especially from the front. The fit and finish were superb and what I liked most were the details e.g. The half black mirrors that matched the window frames, the “notch” in the front of the hood that the upper part of the grill nested in. down-turn on the front upper part of the front grill etc.

The next show where the all new Saab 9-5 will be scheduled to be, is Los Angeles as well as Boston starting this week. These two parallel shows with a little overlap, will wrap up the all new Saab 9-5′s United States tour in 2009.
