2007 Saab 9-3 interior: first look

Autoblogger reader Swade notified us of an interior shot of the upcoming 2007 Saab 9-3 and opinions as well. Swade's take? The lack of differentiation with the 9-5 is quite disturbing. Reader opinion, on the other hand, was generally divided with some liking the cleaner look while others finding it cheap. An earlier post summarized the new interior's details: controls and layout similar to the 9-5 (and hence Swade's comment and comparison pic), more aluminum and the new wood coloration.

After taking a gander at the new interior, what's your take?

Thanks again, Swade!
