Saw the new 9-5 yesterday

I went to the annual auto show in S.F. yesterday. Midway through the day I turned around and almost bumped into a new V-6, AWD 9-5. I was shocked - I didn't even expect to see a Saab display at the show with the way things have been going lately. Anyway, the big news for me is that it was one really good looking car. I say that's news because I'd looked at all the pictures going back months, and my own reactions had been mixed. But I can tell you the car is much nicer in person than on a page. The woman I spoke with was remarkably informed and candid. She indicated production has begun, dealers will start taking orders in February with deliveries beginning in the Spring. She also said there will be a major meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) at GM to discuss the future fate of the brand. She said there were still several legitimate offers on the table and the even the possibility (remote, I suppose) of GM retaining. The down side, if you can call it that, is that the 9-5 will be positioned to compete with the Audi A6, as has been widely reported. Prices will be in the $40K-$50K range which are beyond my interest.
