New Saab 9-5 = crap.
It has nothing in common with classic Saabs like 9000.
Just another remake of same Opel-based GM Epsilon II platform (Opel Insignia, Buick Regal etc).
Such an irony GM has choosen the Germany’s worst carmaker Opel as a thinktank to design all of it’s up to middle class vehicles.
Back in the late 1970s, I worked at a Saab dealership in KC, and was really impressed with the quality of the 900 series. They weren't the best looking cars, but they were really reliable, and terrific to drive, especially the 900 Turbo.
Plus, you gotta love a car that comes from a place called "Trollhatten."
