Wish they had added the side curtain air bags.....

Adding AWD would require a major resesign, but I would have thought they could have adapted the 9-3SS side curtain air bags to the 9-5 relatively cheaply.
I haven't seen a new 9-5 up close yet, but it can't be as big of a disappointment in appearance change as the BMW 7 and 5 series! It took BMW three tries to get their new rear-end right with the 3 series.
I am sure there will be lots of aftermarket de-chromed parts available for those who wish to remove them, just as there are lots of current 9-5 chromed aftermarket parts for those who want to add them.
