Good to hear that the 9-5 has come to an end. I had an old 9-3 it was excellent and then got a newer 9-5 3.0 diesel. £7,000 worth of warranty claims in the first 18 months. Then I switched to BMW. Hope this new car resurrects the Saab build quality of old.

Congratulations!
I am very pleased that Saab will continue to powerful vehicles.
The new 9-5 looks great. Hopefully, the 9-4 comes quickly.
Saab fan of the second generation

I recieved one of the last sedan versions of the 9-5 last year and I am verry happy with this car.The car still has a great look on the outside ,maybe in a couple of years i will buy the new 9-5 and i am happy that this is possible thanks to Viktor Muller.

Its a 12.7 yr old design of car that should have been put down to rest a long time ago. We all know why it stayed around SO LONG!

The New 9-5 is soooo way better!! Long live the 9-5! Long live SAAB!!

A bit of a sad moment. I am currently a very happy owner of a 9-5 estate vector 2.3t. This is my second one, I had a V6 before that which I had for 8 years and clocked 300.000 km. The old 9-5 was great! Curious how the new 9-5 estate will be. On display in Geneva? Timingwise it would be great!

Love my 2008 9-5 Sportcombi. What a great car! Great to see Saab live on!

Good luck for all coming up new-comers to SAAB
After the historie of of so much very individually designed cars
STAY ALIVE

Cheers to the Trollhattan factory!

The new 9-5 looks fantastic and I'm hopeful it will be very welcome here in the USA when it finally arrives. If I didn't like my current 9-3 so much, I'd consider buying the new 9-5. For now I'll continue enjoying my Saab and watch the company re-establish itself under new ownership as they introduce a new product line. I eagerly await the next generation of 9-3. Go Saab!

A bittersweet story. As an owner of a 2001 9-5 SportCombi, I know just how durable and lovable this model is, but it's exciting to know the new 9-5 is finally going into production.

The old 9-5 SportCombi is beautiful to the eye and a wonderful vehicle to drive and I will misss it, but am looking forward to the new 9-5 SportCombi.

I'm looking forward to the take-over of SAAB by Spyker automobiles. I have been a proud SAAB owner for many years. I currently drive a beautiful 2006 SAAB 95 2.3T sedan and a 1992 Classic SAAB 900 "S." SAABs are Safe, Reliable and Fun to Drive. I will never drive another automobile! Congratulations SAAB and Thank You Spyker!!

Wonderful news that Saab will carry on. Have had 2 99s, 1 new 900, 3 used 9000s, and four 9-5s, of which two were sedans and two wagons. At present, have two 9-5s both Aero versions, and am excited about the 2010 version. Wish a diesel was on its way to Canada.

Hi from the U.S.- Nashville, TN. I'm a long-time fan. I've had some 9000 CSE's and now drive a 9.3 ARC Sports Sedan. I absolutely LOVE the brand and am praying SAAB will live a long and prosperous life.

I am also happy that Saab will go on, and love my 93 SportCombi, as I was also happy with all my previous 6 Saabs.
Best Regards to those in Trollhattan buildng the next generaton of new Saabs

Congratulations!!!Happy to hear this!
Saab for life!

I have too many old Saabs and have never bought a new one, hopefully the new 9-5 model range will change my mind. Way to go Saab, and don't forget your roots this time ....

Mike (an 'old' Saaber)

Farewell old friend, you have served us well, way longer than the call of duty, but still a fantastic car with timeless looks.

New 9-5 you have alot to live upto, but Im sure you will rise to the challange.

I had 2 a 9/5 sedan and a wagon, which i am so pleased that I purchased. I
am pleased to hear that the brand lives on and makes a few improvements. It would definiely be my next car if choice.

Great that SAAB will stay alive. Still miss my old SAAB 900. Good luck with the new set up!

I finally got the car of my dream 3 years ago. A Saab. I love my 9-3. and thank you Spyker. long live the Saab and Spyker combo.

I am now on my 3rd SAAB, the latest one is not yet a year old. If the Spyker deal holds I will have a new 9.5 next year. If the deal goes down, what ever I buy, it will NOT be a GM car.

I own a 2006 9-5 SportKombi and now it went 108000 km. There was no essential technical problem, just a few trifles and I always have a relaxed journey. I would buy this car again. So - have a good start NG 9-5!

We love our 2001 9-5SE. It's the best car we've ever owned. We salute Trollhatten quality.

Laukiu nesulaukiu naujo Saab9-3 modelio

Good Buy my beloved 9-5! Even two facelifts didn't ruin your timeless design. The final Dame Edna Version gets better day by day. I own one of the very last Griffins, a 09 SC in Arctic White. A perfect car, even compared to the previous 9-3 SC I owned.

13 years old? No way, younger than ever and very much SAAB. So welcome NEW 9-5 and GRIFFIN UP.

I have three different cars for various occations; a Volvo 940 -old reliable, a mx-5 -darling bella for sunny roadtrips and finally, the lady 9-3. Smooth, elegant with unexpected power.
Do I have to tell you which of them that my wife prefer? :)

What a beautiful picture above. I am a proud owner of a Saab 9-5 SportCombi (my second Saab) and the 9-5 has been the most superior car I have ever owned (better than my Volvo 950, better than my Hondas and definitely better than my Volkswagens!). I am very excited about the new 9-4X and the general rollout of the new cross-drive technology in the new 9-3 and 9-5 and future Saabs.

Saab has a bright future if it can clearly articulate its special value proposition to the market and deliver cars that are just as forward-thinking as those of Saab's past. Scandinavian design, turbo-performance, air-craft heritage and dependability, safety and smart energy consumption. Those are the essential ingredients to making Saab a true leader again.

best wishes from germany and good bye 9-5. Say hello to the new generation of the 9-5 II.

28 years in a SAAB on the road without trouble and at least in hope, that the end of last years nightmare for all of you in Trollhättan and around the world working for SAAB is near.

Hope SAAB will start in a glorius future with attractive and modern models, built with the old (pre 1990) spirit. You developed a graceful replacement. Don´t rest, and present the SW.

best regards

God bless SAAB!

Via dit bericht wil ik de heer Muller en zijn team van harte feliciteren met het bereikte resultaat! Ik denk dat zij een zenuw hebben aangeboord, die weleens tot grote verrassingen zou kunnen leiden; het personeel is happy, de Zweedse overheid zal alles doen om ook iedereen happy te maken en te houden en de SAAB liefhebbers zijn happy omdat zij het niet konden verkroppen dat hun merk roemloos ten onder ging. Persoonlijk ben ik ook happy met mijn SAAB 9-3 en hoop nog lang van dit mooie, eigenwijze merk te mogen genieten. Good Luck!

I drive a 2008 9-3 Aero Convertible. The car was summarily enhanced by the new front end that follows the Saab Aero prototype car that is a sensation. I hope Spyker brings that fabulous car to life as a company "spokesmodel". Congrats on the new 9-5 absolutely Saab and the detailing is beautiful and unique. The car will be instantly recognizable as a Saab. You forgot the clamshell hood perhaps? I will mostly likely get a 9-4X first and then trade in my sedan for a 9-5. Please hold on to the 6-cylinder Aeros -- they are so fast US car magazines won't test them against BMW 330s! Great car, great company culture, solid, unique -- that's what Saab is all about.

Evviva che il marchio continuera a vivere, ci voleva un'iniezione di fiducia. Dopo una SAAB 9000 e una 9-3 cabrio sono proprietario di un SAAB 9-3 sport-hatch 1.9 TTDI 180CV, macchina stupenda che non ha nulla da invidiare alle tedesche.

I just loved the 9-5- I had two of them. Fantastic drive especially when going long distances. Great design and great value for the money. I had absolutely no problems with these cars. -Safe and built with built in quality. I just ordered a 9-3x and i will never ever drive anything but SAAB, Just love them!!!!

Way to go Saab!!! We have a 09 9-3 vert and love the car - Saab refinement is a pleasure to drive - not to mention when you put down the top - what a beautiful & unique car. I am very glad to see the company stay alive and bring the world more of the same. The new 9-5 looks fantastic. Thank you to all at Saab and to Spyker for stepping up.

Thanks that this is almost over. I have a 2002 9-3 viggen with 192,000 miles on it. BSR stage 2 since 30,000. Engine never opened up & original turbo. My wife drives a 9-5 areo. Used to drive alfas, fun but always problems.

Bravo pour la ténacité des dirigeants de SAAB et de leur partenaire néerlandais d'avoir réussi a conclure un accord durable. Je suis heureux pour mon excellent concessionnaire qui va retrouver le sourire sur le visage de ses fidèles clients (je suis à ma 11ème Saab et 1200000 km sans aucun problème et dans un confort de conduite extrême). Bravo enfin pour le design de la nouvelle 9.5 (enfin suédoise) que je vais devoir attendre en juillet 2011. Bon courage à tous.

i love my saab and i am happy too for this good news ,i hope now saab go back also to a better level of quality , under Gm i have to say that saab become to american in a cheap way .
Go sweden !

Do the new SAAB will still be available into canadians market? Even if GM said that they will keep parts for the next ten years, do we will be able to ordrer parts from the new entities?

I have a 2007 sportcombi 9-3. Love it! Glad to hear that SAAB will continue on. Hope they keep the emblem (it's one of the reason I bought the car)

Im a bit worried to what is going to happen to SAAB as the showroom has been closed last week in Oman (Arabian Gulf) after they sold the remaining cars. I have a 93 sedan 2005 and its really great car. In my family we do have couple of SAABs that doing excelent as well.

I hope for a better interior quality within the new 9-5; presently, I drive the convertible model year 2007, and after 80.000 km, there are annoying clicking voices coming from the dashboard, the navigation display, the sun protection, the doorknob and from the head rest: this is too much and too much cheap plastic in sum!

I also hope that the SAAB engineers will become able to finally lower the fuel consumption - in many years, I couldn't recognize a serious improvement with this issue.

But after all, I am pretty relieved that SAAB has survived. 'hope you will produce the next convertible just as the concept car, guys!

SAAB should have died, it will in a few years time, history will repeat.

Sergio M. is TOTALLY correct.....

Sorry

So happy and relieved that SAAB is back in the game again. I've had seven over the years (including a new-ish 9-3 and a 1990 900i Convertible) and I swear they all have the power to repair themselves. I bought my first 900 GLE when I had no money, and it ran and ran until my ex-partner made off with it. I have been a convert ever since.

Good luck, SAAB, and maybe it's time for a two-seater?

great news saab will live on,had many pre 1990 saabs which for me were real saabs,have 9-5 aero now,lets hope new 9-5 will carry the saab name forward into the future

Wunderbar dass Saab weiterbesteht!!! Ich werde sofort den neuen 9-5 bestellen.

SAAB!!! We love you!!! I currently own a 2008 Turbo X 9-3 and what a car. I also had a 9-5 Areo that was amazing as well. The new 9-5 hands down will bring in new customers. I have friends that can't believe "SAAB made that Turbo X? Wow very nice!!

SAAB builds one of the best cars hands down!!! Good by GM and hello Free Spirit!!

The King is Dead - Long live the king!!!

Hope the new 9-5 will be as good as the old - I have a 9-5 V6 3 liter turbo and a 9-3 TTiD two stage diesel turbo - there is a smile on my face whenever I need to go for a drive!
GOOD LUCK!!

We drive a 1999 9-5 Wagon and a 2001 9-5 Aero Wagon. Best design ever! Love our SAABs! Heartiest congratulations to the new SAAB team! We look forward to the new 9-5 Wagon. We love you guys!

I bought my first Saab last year, a new 2008 93t and I like it more and more the longer I live with it. Its fun to drive, quick, great looking, comfortable and intelligently designed for driver and passengers. I'm so happy Saab lives! Keep up the good work!

Yey!!!!! I needed some good news!! I couldn't be happier. I have the 9-3 convertible 2008 and was so sad that I wouldn't be able to replace it with another SAAB. There is nothing on the market that compares with this car..I would have had to settle for less. Today is a great day!

We have to say, good riddance to GM, and much appreciated greetings to the new owners of Saab. We have a 2008 9-5 Aero that just took us on vacation over 3400 miles (packed full of things for our friends) in not-so-friendly weather conditions, with an average 30.9 mpg at an average speed of 72 mph.

Our local, family-owned dealer, Brewer's Saab in Maugansville, Maryland, has been the reason we have purchased 4 Saabs over the years......almost slipped and bought a Mercedes, but their arrogant salesman turned me off and we went right back to Saab.
