The article in Automobile magazine contained an inaccurate price comparison comment. This same inaccurate comment is repeated so many times when discussing prices of the new 9-5 that it is almost becoming the new "quirky" in SAAB articles.
The price comment is generally along the lines of a significant price increase for the new 9-5 as compared to the old 9-5 it replaces. The new 9-5 is quoted at just under $40K for a base model.
Guess what! I still have the window sticker from my 2000 9-5 lpt sedan; equiped with automatic, metallic paint, and Premium Package, MSRP was between $40K and $41K.
An all new design, ten years later, with significant improvements, for the same price. What are these writers talking about?
