Don't get me wrong, the new 9-5 looks pretty good... But why copy other auto companies?
The sloping rear end looks like a bad copy of BMVs X6, just like most of the front has been pinched from Audi. The LED running lights under the headlights, the shape of the air intake in front? Looks like Saab has copied the entire front from Audi A4 and A6, and not even TRIED to add their own touch.
The narrow windows seems to be where all car companies are going these days, but did Saab HAVE to copy that designtrend? Little daylight does not a good cabin make!
The exhaust seems to pinched from other cars as well, and on the inside we find the same sloping console that Volvo pioneered.
Definitely a nice model, but how about a little more originality?!?
