It looks like Saab is moving away from those Saab vertical openings on each side of the grill.

I think im starting to not hate Saab anymore

[VenSeattle]

It doesn't look bad at all. Different but attractive IMO.

Look closely. They're there. ;)

Pity the rear doesn't look as good as the front.

[CSpec]

The lower grill is really busy.

[pow]

It could be worse... but, still, I don't think it has enough substance. At $40K, people want the best... good character won't cut it. Who'd buy one over an E-class, A6, or 5-series?

Owners of '99-'05 SAAB 9-5s...

I dont know, there is something I like and there is something I really dont like about it. Its definately eye catching but I'm afraid this picture shows too little and that its as bad as the spy shots. Whatever, it is different?

[Flybrian]

This is the diff...


Should've happened three years ago.

AMS has a slew of pics.

It's not bad... I love how sharply creased the fenders are. It looks surprisingly clean and fresh for such a dated car, just like the 9-7X...

[Carguy]

Thats a mean looking nose job!

[turbo200]

Hmmm...it looks really good in the ams pictures. I like it. I think it's amazing how Saab can manage such detail changes that change the overall appearance of the car just enough to make it look fresh. It looks pretty good, I like the wagon a lot.

What are the engine/transmission choices slated to be for the U.S.?

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I like it. B)

[Northstar]

I don't know what I think about the new 9-5. It looks ok in silver, but in other colors the metal around the headlights makes the car look weird. Almost like it's bandaged-up and tape or something is holding the headlights on.

[NOS2006]

Could've easily been made an Olds. The rear's hideous.

Wait, what? :blink:

[CSpec]

Why is there a blank spot behind the headlights? Is it just to make the front wrap around more?

[Cory Wolfe]

Ugh... It's not bad, but it's not good. The rear is terrible. The body is... practically the same, and the front is questionable, but good-looking. Overall... It's need an all new replacement... now.
