2005 Saab 9-5 Aero. I love it so far.

This was the last year for the “real” 9-5, its still a Saab. In 06 the 9-5 went the way of the 9-3 and became GMed. ---

At least they don’t use that HALF turbocharged V6 anymore. Does the current 9-5 still date back to the Type Four chassis (9000/164/Thema/Chroma), or is it based on a GM platform? ---

I belive it is based on a GM platform, but I dont think that it is shared with anything other than the Opel vectra. ---

I had one for a rental when my 9-3 was in the shop for a couple weeks. The seats were amazing and the 2.3T V6 or whatever was under the hood pulled strong. Nice buy. I am still waiting to drive the new 9-5, which has been super hyped. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/some-photos-of-my-new-whip/69453.md?page=2)
