Facelifted Saab 9-3 revealed

meh

 

?????????

 

looks good

 

Looks like an old 9-5.

If it'd been more exciting in the first place I might have complained.

 

Based on the new (and hideous) Impreza?

 

looks stupid

 

It looks great

 

No? Why would it be?

 

it looks good for a second, then weird, then back to good looking. I would say it is ok, it is just that i get this BMW/Honda feel in the fron't.

 

Yay Subaru.

 

The curves look a little BMWesque.

 

I honestly think Saab has one of the best-looking line-ups of any brand. If you havn't seen the new 9-5 on big alloys in bright red, you're not allowed to comment.

 

Are you sure?

 

I think I like it, and it being an estate makes it much better than if it were a sedan.

 

The 9-3 was around before the 9-2 was even released. The 9-2 has never been available in Europe. Besides which, the Impreza is a great car, what's wrong with basing a car on it?

 

This is just a face lift of the current epsilon based 9-3. Engine choices are the same, GM Ecotec (L850) and HFV6, but the car will now also be availible with AWD.

The design is a mix using features from older Saabs (900, 9-5, 9-3), Aero X (hood and grille) and Cadillac BLS (doors - but not on the convertible it seems).

Next generation 9-3, along with the next 9-5 is coming in a few years; both will be based on epsilon II.

 

Looks ok

 

they just cant stop facelifting it, first they put those blacked out headlights......and now this

 

I like the current version better. The Aero, anyway.

 

You're thinking of the 9-5.

 

it looks good but now looks more upmarket than the 9-5

 

oh yea my bad........ ;-)
