Here's my $.02.......
Headlights sweep back too much....IMO they should stop at the edge of the front fender and not curl back.
Grille effect under the front license plate too much like newer Audis. The blackout strip between the two fog lights should not be interrupted under the license plate...it should be continuous.
The D-pillar on the wagon should not be blacked out.......it should match the body color. It makes the rear end of the wagon look awkward, IMO.
Other than that, both the sedan and wagon look pretty good, IMO.
The straight-back-and-forth automatic transmission shifter is especially nice. ...too many cars nowadays have those idiotic zig-zag gated shifters that are a pain-in-the-a - - to use.

When you say you hate Saabs, are you talking about REAL Saabs like the 9-5 or the rebadged vehicles from other manufacturers that Saab is currently marketing, like the Subaru Impreza-derived 9-2X, the Chevy TrailBlazer-derived 9-7X, the Subaru-Tribeca-derived 9-6X, and the GM world-platform-derived 9-3 ? The 9-5 is the only REAL Saab left. Even the new SportCombi Wagon, like the 9-3, is essentially a world-platform-derived car.
