Looks pretty good overall. With that said, it *looks* like forward visibility will be great w/ that tall, upright windshield, but the rear visibility might be a bit of a nightmare. And I'd like to see the cabin in other colors. The black/charcoal grey interior looks completely lifeless.

The correlation between current/former Volkswagen ownership and being an impolite douche-canoe is in the mild-positive range.

Hi, welcome to The Car Lounge. We all hate each other and argue about stuff. It's awesome.
I don't know why but it kind of reminds me of a Chevy?
Maybe it will look different on the road?

I like. Too bad there are no more Griffin (sp?) logos though.
i think they have them on the center cap no? And thank goodness they got rid of those stupid badges that last 3months before they peal. From what I see, I like, I don't love the front end. I do love the wheels

I like it! Looks like a nice step up from previous generation. I did not read the details of the SAAB/GM divorce. Will SAAB dealers still reside on GM lots, or will they be independent and therefore rare?
1) Looks pleasant enough, although I never cared too much for the really vertical windshield Saab thing. And that rake on the roof is... just not my thang. 2) I bet the wagon form would look better. If they have a wagoon out by the time I get home, that'd be on my list of new cars to get without a doubt. 3) Had they just done a HB, they'd be right on time for this "sportback" fashion trend starting. 4) I hope GM steals away the engineers who design Saab seats. I think they are descendents of the Gods. I miss long highway cruising in our old 9-5's seats. 5) Love the front fascia, but will really miss the Griffen logo, too.
What a mean looking motherf*cker! Finally, someone has had the courage to try a roofline, and profile in general that does not owe anything to the late 1990s Audi A4! There is not one line on this car that is derivative of anything from any other car company. Congrats Saab! Congrats GM, on the diversity in Epsilon II. This looks nothing like a Buick LaCrosse or Opel Insignia! Can't wait to see the Caddy version!

There are plenty of existing technologies that produce emissions free electricity. There isn't one single technology in the world that produces emissions free gasoline.
The roof rake is a little odd, but other than that I think it's pretty damn hot. I actually really like the back end. Bummer to see the griffin depreciated, it was a cool and unique symbol. I really want to sit in that cockpit, it looks pretty retro with a lot of lines and deep portals for the gauges.
I like it alot.....very cool rear end that is a real departure from previous 9-5's...and overall the car looks like nothing else for sale today, which truely is an engineering feat....

At first I thought some kind of Chevy but it's really more this
Mazda 929?
I think the wagon will be the much better looking of the two
