More Saab 9-5 spy shots
By now we pretty much know what the 2006 9-5 facelift looks like, but these are the first pics we've seen of the wagon and the dashboard center stack. Inside, it look much like the 9-3. It must look better with a DVD-Nav screen since the corp-GM radio does not seem to fill out the space very well. The uneven taillights are still a little unsettling. There are also clean front pictures of the 9-5 here. The progression of the two side grills into the headlights was seen in the Saab concepts and is an interesting new trait. Thanks for the tips Swade.

It still bothers me that is will be the last 9-5 to be made in Sweeden.

Torz, just curious, do you like all of the designs of the new BMWs?

The rear lights look just like Audi A4's and the Q7's

Not at all. BMW once highly regarded by me are now completely off of my radar. My current favorite is probably the current E-class and CLS.
And I do find the 9-3 to be simple beauty.
I despise the trend towards tall and bloated which is exactly what the rear of this 9-5 appears to be and many recent vehicles are(new VW anyone).

What's with the grille?! Did GM steal it from a Chrysler Sebring convertible?

The grill is awful. The designers gotta quit with these "mini-grills". They look silly to me.
