I see these cocoa/brown colors are popping up all over the GM model line-ups.

How much longer until the new 9-5 arrives? I want to see a new Snabb (= 'fast'/'quick' in Swedish) :smilewide:

Nothing about the 280HP Black Turbo or AWD?

yeah i was looking forward for that to be in the additions :hissyfit:

2009 for the 9-5 and 2010 for the 9-3 if they keep to the schedule. I hope that they step it up though! Saab needs a total revival/refresh!
