I disagree.I think it's just a rounder version of the NG900 and that it retains many Saabish details while still modernizing a bit. >A BMW 3 looks like a BMW, A Volvo S60 looks unmistakably like a Volvo. Aside from the grill, the current BMW3 looks like an older Honda Accord or maybe a stretched Honda CRX to me. But, you go me going now. That Audi TT looks like a VW bug somebody stepped on. That latest Jag looks like my Mom's old Ford Taurus. I think all of these designers would do better by taking a look at some of the European automotive art from the 50's & 60's. Start with everything Pina Farina did back then, and go from there. Bob
