Boston, MA ___ The new 9-5, Saab___s flagship car, will be unveiled for the first time to the North American press and public on Friday, November 4th at the New England International Auto Show, in the Boston Bayside Expo Center.

___This is a very fitting venue for the debut of the new 9-5 in North America,___ said Jay Spenchian, Saab USA general manager. ___Saab started its American automotive activities almost 50 years ago in New England, and it is still a core area for our business. Over 400,000 Saabs 9-5 have been sold so far worldwide, many of which in Boston and surroundings. The debut of the new 9-5 here may as well be seen as a tribute to its loyal following in this area.___

Simultaneously, Saab USA released prices for the 2006 9-5 Sedan and SportCombi 5-door, which have received a comprehensive refresh for the new model year. The well-equipped 9-5 2.3T Sedan with 260 hp engine will go on sale in December with a base MSRP of $34,820, while the 2.3T SportCombi 5-door will be priced as of $35,820. Both prices include delivery charges.

Based on pics alone, the 9-5 refresh looks good, but I think the SportCombi
looks incredible...can't wait to see it up close.

My friend asked me to go to the show on Sunday, but I had to decline.
I've never been to an auto show; are they worth going to?

I go every couple years to see what's new from the various manufacturer's.
I like it because it's generally a much lower pressure environment than
going to a dealer. Also, it's nice to be able to browse from all the
manufacturers. Of course, you just can't test drive the cars. So I guess
if you consider walking around looking at the latest car models to be worth
your while, then yes, i suppose so. This would be especially true if you
were in the market for a new car.

No. wait 3 or 4 months and you can see the same thing at your local
dealer for free.
