I don’t like the wheels, but not bad for a Saab.

sharp :tup:

edit: the front end looks a little like the saturn sky

9

The XWD system will be twisting a set of particularly handsome 19-inch wheels, though North American customers will be limited to 18-inchers for some reason.

Hot.

10

11

ttt for sportcombi pics, that looks mega hot

14

I rather like the Sportcombi, but after talking to some 93 owners…I’ll stick with my Suby.

15

lol my 1999 saab put down 220 and 258lb/ft TQ@the wheels and it was a 99.

yea. any 9-3 owner will tell you. run far away!:touchy:

16

looks really nice for a saab

17

aggressive front end. wheels need to go though. pick the 10 spokes from the new cobalt T/C.

looks to me like subaru took styling cues from saab.

Other way around?

saab has only tweeked their styling over the last couple years. its been pretty consistent. so in my opinion suburu took from saab.

o and FUCK YOU G!

…its been pretty consistent [Saab’s styling]

So that hood scoop and rear quarter of the wagon hatch have been part of Saab’s arsenal right along? I don’t know the release dates of these models but I always thought the Subaru wagon had those very identifiable styling cues before Saab snatched them up with that 9-2x wagon.

And the current ('08) Subaru’s have the styling in question (the Turbo X) and this thing isn’t even in production yet.
