With new owner Koenigsegg, Saab future does look very bright. Especially with this very attractive looking 9-5 sedan that appeared at the Frankfurt Autoshow. The interior still has that aircraft design cues. Much of the platform was shared with the Vauxhall Insigna. It will be on sale here in the United States next year. Undercutting rivals such as the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. Saab says that they used the conventional three-box design rather than the fastback cliche or four-door coupe look. Apparently the VW Passat CC, Audi A5 sport back and Mercedes CLS are all prime examples of cliche looks. There will be a wagon version appearing later. Hopefully with this new owner. Saab will be able to get it's 'quirky' image back.
