Swedish SvD has come across a presentation of Saab's business plan from January 2011 with a picture of what is believed to be the next generation Saab 9-3.
Looking interesting, doesn't it?
In the rear we can recognize the current Saab 9-5 Sedan with the sloping rear. The rear wheel arch looks a bit like the Saab PhoeniX concept. We have the wrap-around windshield and the blacked out A-pillars from the Saab 9-5.
But is this the real deal?
Well, to me it looks too much like a Saab 9-5 photoshopped into a Saab 9-3.
First of all, the rear looks too much like a slightly altered Saab 9-5 Sedan. And there is still a big front overhang. Earlier Saab has said that they have worked hard on reducing the front overhang on the next 9-3. Furthermore, we have been told that the front fender will be bigger and more pronounced than on the Saab PhoeniX. I don't see that on this picture. But it does look a lot like a Saab.
What do you think?
