I know there's not a lot of chat about this car, but I am really impressed by it. Came from an '06 SC 430, which was a great car as well. This is much different, handles much more like the Euro sports sedan its meant to be. Although good size the car behaves like its smaller. Very tight in "sport" mode and pretty quick as well. Anyway just thought I'd share.

I have been very interested in this car since it came out. Please keep us updated on the progress, your opinions and impressions.

Big congrats on the purchase! Take some more/better pics!

 

Congrats on the new car. I haven't seen any of these around on the roads yet, but I know on paper they're pretty well rounded cars. Good size, awd, turbo v6, etc.

Were you able to get a good deal?

 

Congrats on the new car. Yes, keep us updated on your journeys with the Saab. I think all of us here would be interested in hearing what you think of your car, eventhough it's not a Lexus...It's a cool car!

 

Looks really good, any interior shots?

 

congrats, you must be one of the first here on CL!!

 

You really have to see one in person to appreciate it. Pictures really don't do the car justice. I got a great deal nearly 20% off msrp and a generous trade allowance. They want to get the cars out there. Most people think the brand is still dead. It's my 5th Saab so I am hardly objective, but its a terrific car. Lots of cutting edge technology. It really doesn't look like anything else out there. I have become addicted to the HUD, especially while using the NAV, it shows the next direction right on the HUD, very handy. Voice recognition has been flawless so far. It's a blast to drive. I'll keep you posted and if there are any more questions, fire away.

Is this more a 5 series contender or a 7series?

 

More of a 5 series, not the 7. It's been compared to both the 5 series and the A6. The Aero is the top of the 9-5 line, more sporty, 300 hp turbo, 19"wheels, 3 different chassis and performance settings, really nice sport seats, both heated and cooled. Car has to be seen and driven to really be appreciated
