Great pics!  Beautiful car.  The designers did an unbelieveable job
reworking the roofline.  Looks like a perfect companion to its SS brethren.
I don't suppose you go any pics of the rear interior cargo space?

As it ain't my pics, so no I don't. :o)

But you'll get to see that i a month time, when people start to publish pics
from the Saab Festival...

Cheers!

Cool. It looks more like a hatchback than an estate. I hope that they don't
put in roof rails, I hate them.

I don't care for them either, particularly because most are more cosmetic than
useful.  But recessed roof rack tracks would be great, for those of us who carry
several bicycles, small boats, etc.

Saab should pair up with Thule, like VW did with the Jetta Trek.  Swedish car,
Swedish racks.  Rolling the cost of the racks into the car loan is a good
selling tool.

I like the looks of the car overall, though the C-pillar is awfully chunky.  The
tailights do break it up some, but it's kind of a Volvo ripoff.  I bet there's a
huge blind spot, and that the view through the rear window is rather
tunnel-like.

This is a nice looking car, but nowhere near as nice looking as the Mazda, Audi,
Lexus, or BMW wagons.  I like the 9-3 sedan very much.  In overall concept it's
the same as many other cars, but done very well.  I don't think this carries
over to the wagon as well as with some others.

You said it - how is different from Mazda wagon, other than the budge?

Nice car, but what makes it significantly different from an Opel Vectra,
 a Volvo V50 or a BMW 320 touring?

Look at the car on the top left on the same web site or the suite of
photos in http://www.pbase.com/yelferrari/87_saab_900_spg. Which are the
most exciting and original designs?

Much more appealing than the 'sedan'.

I'd still love to see a Saab hatchback again though.
