That would be very cool.

...

So, I read the article and... this is what it will actually be? And it will go on sale late '07? Awesome!

You guys know that these are Photoshopped photos, right? And if the 9-5 will be Epsilion II-based, then what is the 9-3 based on? Does it move to Delta?

Epsilon II as well. There are different wheelbase lengths like the current one.

I really don't think that photoshop looks very good at all, I hope it's not very close to that.

I like it!! The Wagon reminds me of the Opel Bertone Slalom Concept. The Hatch is Sweet to.

And Here, Here, to the Twin Clutch Auto Manual.Hopefully The Tranny will be Built in Volume in the U.S. and Make it's way to All the Epsilon,Theta's,and Lambda's.

Thow in that Continental Teves Hybrid System and things really look good For The FWD platforms..

I particularly like this pic...

there's no reason why the production car should look anything less than these photoshops, they're perfectly feasible and very attractive, and would set Saab apart, something they desperately need to regain any hope of relevance. Those wheels are awesome, and all of them look very good. The hatch is bomb, GM needs that car to differentiate Saab from the rest.

I have a feeling the next 9-3 will end up on GME's next compact architecture, which will underpin the Astra. It will be AWD capable, have lots of engines available, and have full independent rear suspension.

Wow... I like it. MUCH better than the current 9\5 with its ugly

thick chrome "nerd eye glasses" headlight surrounds.

I dislike these. I like the current version much more!
