Default Next Saab 9-5

May be a non-event with this group, but the next-gen 2010/11 Saab 9-5 has been leaked.

I think it looks pretty good. Rumored to be getting a turbocharged version of the 3.6 from GM, among other engines. As diesel gains share and acceptance in North America, we may also be able to hope for the diesel as well.

Not bad, looks vaguely Acura-ish without the new styled front nose.

So it's been Americanized? Somehow it reminds me of a recently Americanized car... oh right, the Mazda6. It has an interesting profile though, reminiscent of the old Saab 900 (even though it's not its successor)
