2010 Saab 9-5 sedan latest spy photos in the Alps this car won't save saab...the next 9-3 will. what it will do is get the press writing good things about them...the dynamucs of this vehicle will be key there are only so many people that can buy a 50k+ car and they buy badges, you can ask everyone that isn't named MB, BMW, and Lexus how their sales are in that segment. even Audi struggles. the only way to knock those guys out is to sabotage one of their suppliers i don't even think this would be a pre-lude to any new saab tech....so much time has been wasted in the past 6-7 years that a lot of engineers left to go to germany and volvo for various reasons. with the right cashflow and no longer being a 'sweatshop brand' you can expect to see some great innovations from saab in the next 10 years. i'm not saying they're going to crush munich/stuttgart but europeans are great engineers and nordics are great with developing new technologies if you want to see what could have been for the new 9-5 then look at the new Eclass...

VW Golf GTD launches in Germany starting at 27,475 euros vwoa will be bringing this car stateside. you have to keep in mind that you cannot do a direct conversion on exchange rates with cars. a lot of times the numbers are subsidized to fit a market. also consider that vat is often incorped in the pricing which we don't do. as to concerns about noise and performance don't speak on it until you have actually driven a new diesel from any of germany's big 3...it makes cars like the prius and insight look like a joke
