Re: Leaked photos: Facelift Saab 9-3

Gasp, there is at least one light bulb burning at Saab. I agree with everyone that likes the front end, aggressive...aero looking for real. Now bring on the convertible. The wagon looks particularly sinister. They got rid of 2 things I've hated on Saabs for years, the black door handles and rub strips!! Whoopie.

Re: Leaked photos: Facelift Saab 9-3

Although the front looks good I'm not too sure I'm feeling the chrome/white&clear glass Saab has got going on, kind of ricey if you ask me. Also, the car has now lost some of its identity, looks far too similar to the 9-5

Re: Leaked photos: Facelift Saab 9-3

The front end styling is very nice, thank god they resist the temptation to give it the 9-5 treatement. There is one thing i dont' like about the front end, it is the bonnet shutline, it doesn't flow with the rest of the line, with that weird curve.

I really hope the rear lights don't look like that, it looks like those cheap $2 aftermarket tailights you can buy from China

Agreed. IMO it looks like the 9-5 with milder facelift.. The car now looks older than the pre-facelift version because of the 9-5 style grille and front lights.
