I really like the front, but from the spyshots or the rear I've seen worries me.

The new Saab 9-5 Sedan and SportCombi range, to be revealed at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, builds on the brand's core values of progressive design and sporty driver involvement by incorporating new styling and improved handling characteristics.

It features all-new front bodywork, with a bold new 'face' inspired by the Saab 9X concept car, and a fresh look inside that includes an updated dashboard and interior trim.

Excellent chassis dynamics have been further refined to give the driver even closer control with faster, more direct responses for sportier handling characteristics. This has been achieved without compromising ride quality and refinement.

Under the hood, the new range also offers a unique triple fuel engine choice. The all-turbo line-up includes a new diesel engine, a Saab BioPower engine that can run on any mixture of ethanol (E85) fuel and gasoline, and increased power for the top-of-the-range Aero model.

Overall, the sportier visual impact of the new 9-5 Sedan and SportCombi is designed to reflect the enhancements under the bodywork, giving Saab's flagship range an even stronger appeal for customers who value modern, progressive design and a rewarding driving experience.

Saabs look a lot better than most of the North American designs IMHO

Am toying with the idea of a 9-5 at the moment so I found this post very interesting.

But then I am toying with the idea of a 993 at the moment as well.

IMO, it loks LEAGUES better than the old one, atleast from the front. and transam, i think you should toy with the idea of a 993 moreso than the ide of a 9-5, lol
