Saab is apparently quite difficult to take pictures of the new 9-5 secrecy. Or they milking the internet leak-off event, that which German brands also. Anyway, we get a stack of photos.
This time the photos from the Swedish Auto Motor und Sport and we get some more details. Think of lights, zijpsiegels, dashboard buttons, etc.

These are the first images that I can confirm are original Saab stock. They look more like CGI's than actual photos of real cars to me, but they're authentic.
There's one of each of the sedan and wagon (which is an absolute stunner if you ask me)
Also, please remember that no matter what you think of these images - they're most likely CGI's and every car looks better in the metal than what it does in photos.
The 2010 Saab 9-5 is due to come out in sedan form either late 2009 or early 2010. The Motor Show debut will be later this year in Frankfurt.
The wagon is said to be following year after.
The car should be available with a mix of four and six cylinder engines (petrol/BioPower) and a four cylinder diesel. The six cylinder diesel that was planned for the car was cancelled by GM.

It looks very much on. The photos are scanned from a magazine and show good similarities with the previously leaked photos.
And if I may say so, I think the new Saab 9-5 is so good to see. Apparently there is still somewhere in my dentist in hidden, because the 9-3, I think more than ok. The new 9-5 will complete in April 2010 we only really in the market, but the disclosure would be in Frankfurt to take place in September. The 9-5 is also a strong guy. With a length of 5.08 meters, the new 9-5 20 cm longer than its predecessor and the Insignia of the platform is shared.

We don't have much to go on yet, but Swedish television is reportedly claiming that Koenigsegg, makers of ultra high-performance exotic supercars, and a group of Norwegian investors have signed a letter of intent with Saab to take over the brand from General Motors. Final negotiations will reportedly take place in the coming months.
Along with Saturn and Hummer, Saab was put up for sale by GM before the automaker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many companies and investor groups from all over the world, including China, were reportedly interested in the Swedish brand, and despite how crazy it sounds, Koenigsegg was thrown into the list of finalists late last month. What we thought was crazy has reportedly come to pass.
Do you think Koenigsegg and Saab, two automotive brands that share a home country and sell completely different kinds of cars, will work well together? Let us know in the poll below and we'll keep you updated as the story unfolds.

Following its world premiere last month at the Geneva Auto Show, Saab's new 9-3X crossover will be introduced for the time to the public in North America at the New York International Auto Show on April 9. Essentially a 9-3 Sport Wagon garnished with black plastic moldings and aluminum skid trays for an off-roadish look, the 9-3X will hit U.S. dealerships during the fourth quarter of the year.
In the States, it will be offered exclusively with a 2.0-liter gasoline turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 210 horsepower combined with Saab's Cross Wheel Drive (XWD) system. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and a six-speed automatic transmission. Prices will be announced closer to the launch date.
