    Looks much better then the old one imo.

    Yeah would look nice in a black or cobalt grey.

    The entertainment system is supposed to be very good although there are no details.

    Indeed, diarrhea coloured paint doesnt help the promotion of any car!:eek::D

    http://www.netcarshow.com/saab/2010-9-5_sedan/ , for some decent pics.

    Not too mad about the interior tbh. Think it looks a bit dated compared to the interior of an E-class or a 5 series Wouldnt really like the outside either really!

    Oh yeah, I like. Quirky, different, but still solid and looking quality. Like the old Saabs of the past. There's hope yet for Saab!

    It would be!:D

    Its based on it. Same diesel and 1.6turbo petrol engines. I think the Insignia is better looking though, they should have swapped them!

    Not sure about the green interior lighting, its a bit sterile and "Halfords" looking.

    It's on the price list, but no interest in it at all. €1,800 more than the 160ps Diesel and costs €630 a year to tax.

    Opel Ireland didn't bother bringing a demo in.

    It looks exactly like the car that an American would expect to find in an IKEA catalogue (if IKEA indeed sold cars)

    Still trying to make up my mind if that's a good thing or not.

    I think its the cars worst point. Would like to see the car in black just to see what a uniform paint scheme would do for the car.

    Vast improvement on the interior btw.

    I don't like it. Now it looks too American, none of the old SAAB characteristics left. That said, if it was a Ford or Mazda I'd say it's very nice, very executive looking.

    It looks allot better than the previous model - but that wouldn't be difficult. I'm not gonna make my mind up on this car until I se it in the flesh... There are lots of thinks I don't like about it so far...

    A-pillar and roofline are very Mini/Swift/Fabia-esque. I likies the silver one linked. Lets hope it loses value like a stone because I want one in about 3 years time

    I just realized where the design inspiration came from.

    I just hope the plastics are as good to touch as they are to look at. I really hope this car is a winner. I has the look of one thats for sure.
