My swedish is rusty (I'm an American with NOrweigan parents, so while I could read Norwegian really well, Swedish is still a little foreign), but here goes (major points only):
The NG9-3 is muich bigger than the current 9-3, so much so, that it should be called the 9-4.
While the Epsilon platform on which the 9-3 is based is shared with GM-US and Opel, Saab gets the sportier version of it, more well suited to active driving on rough roads and winter driving (i.e., more sporty). Opel gets it in a more luxurious form.
(in the sidebar):
The engine is all new, all aluminum. Output is shown in the sidebar (150 hp, 175 and 210 for 1.8t and 2.0t and 2.0t versions, respectively).
Five and six (!) speed manuals will be available, as well as a 5 speed automatic. Later, an F1 style shifter will appear.
Haldex AWD to come in a year.
Saab will be doing the same Linear/Arc/Vector trim levels, plus Aero (with its own interior and a lowered chassis.
The car will be Bluetooth ennabled.
Hope that's helpful. I especially like the 6 speed news.
