There are many rumors going around in various auto-magazines. The car will
not be shown in the Geneva car show as was expected. SAAB will unveil this
much awaited 9-3 on the 13 th of May in Paris. Some say that there are many
styling cues taken from Saab's latest concept , the 9-3x , especially the
front end. Others say it will have a more conservative look. I have seen
many fake computer generated pictures, and they are all very disappointing.
But I never pay much attention to these types of pictures because they
seldom if ever turn out to be anything like the real car. The 9-3 will be
based on GM epsilon platform, a very solid mid size platform which it will
share with opel, and the new 9-5 due in 2005. This new platform is 85% more
solid than the current 9-3's and will provide excellent handling. The 9-3
will eventually receive the revolutionary SVC engine, which is a 5 cylinder
1.2 liter engine that produces an amazing 225 bHP. According to SAAB, the
new 9-3 will be much more competitive than the current model. SAAB has
invested 3 times as much money on the new generation 9-3 as it did on the
development of the 9-5. I think it is a car worth waiting for. All we can do
for the moment is cross our fingers and hope for the best ;-)
