These are the official pictures of the all new 2010 Saab 9-5. These aren't a leak like all of the others and I had to resize these quite a bit.

Also, notice the tires are facing the wrong direction on this Aero :lol:.

And I am extremely excited to see what the motor is due to it being a Turbo4 (thinking 4 cylinder) with XWD. I am also curious what the redline is since the tach goes to 8k.

Can also see the cruise control sensors in the front bumper. At least that's what I think they are.

i definitely prefer the look of the aero to the look of the linear (or whatever top end vs baseline moniker they go with).

also, the aero looks to have far bigger brakes than the base :)

x2.

I am at least happy that it doesn't look like anything else on the road. I really dislike the weird front grille though. It's too big and gaudy.

I LOVE the rear and the interior though. Steering wheel is a bit odd and will have to grow on me though.

It's funny, in 06 they get rid of the SAAB logo in the grille, and now in '10 they have the SAAB logo back in the grille, but about 5 times larger than it should be. I think that's what throws me off on the grille the most.

I love that Aero front bumper though. The fog light area is awesome and aggressive and I like where the directional indicator is located. It should be a pretty easy car to distinguish anytime of the day or night (as all Saabs are).

<-----thinks a long wheelbase version would look better still. but the interior is spot-on
The auto shifter is so much better looking than any Saab yet. They were always outdated and cheap looking.

Also I am LOVING those illuminated door handles.

I wish the cruise control was still on the directional stalk though. I hate steering wheel mounted cruise controls. They are much more confusing and inconvenient in my opinion.

Also like the wraparound windshield look (black a-pillars)
