Autoevolution stopped by the Saab 9-5 SportCombi to take some pictures and jott down some notes:
Built on the platform of its sedan sibling and featuring Aero X-inspired looks here and there, the SportCombi comes with the promise of a very sporty wagon.
The main design elements that make up the new 9-5 SportCombi are the raked forward tailgate (a novelty for a wagon model) and full-width “ice-block” rear light bar.
Inside of the car, the future drivers will be treated with all the goodies that make up modern day cars.
They have a heap load of high resolution pictures in their photo gallery.
Victor Muller tells Automotive news that Saab didn't do a good enough job introducing and promoting the new Saab 9-5 Sedan in the US:
"We could have done a better job" of marketing and introducing the car, Muller said during an interview at the New York auto show.
The car is completely different than the 9-5 that was replaced, he said.
But "we acted like nothing happened."If so, then let's hope they do a better jobb with the Saab 9-4X and the Saab 9-5 SportCombi.
Victor Muller talks about Spyker's long-term plans and production strategy for Saab, and the outlook for sales to Bloomberg on video:
Finally, ConsumerReports seems to like the Saab PhoeniX's tail :
I stopped dead in my tracks when I passed through Saab’s display at the New York auto show. It wasn’t the enormous ice sculpture or the new 9-5 wagon. What caught my eye was the tail lights of the Phoenix show car.
