    The interior looks ok. The rest looks like an Accord. Very boring.

    I've always liked them but this one does nothing for me. The blacked A pillars give me the ugly illusion the roof would be pryed back at speed (similar to an unlatched convertible top). Blech, shades of GT-Rness. More buttons on the dash than a V12 E type. Makes a case for current 9-5 to stick around for another 11 years.

    The Japanese copied the Brits, then Americans, until they settled on the Euro look for a spell. Now they've gone their own way and have admirers copying them. Brutal.

    meh. another anonymous blob.

    I assume this was a GM creation, and not a Koenigsegg creation?

    Rear actually looks okay.

    Would I ever buy a Saab, no way, never.

    In the UK it's a car for the conservative, doctors and dentists.
