OK, the 9-5 was first introduced in 1998, but its a genuine Saab design, (Yes, I know it has GM components, but not as much as the 9-3) and it was been updated several times, so what's the problem with that? Or perhaps the motoring journo is of the ipod generation where only the latest fad will do? Marketing over engineering?
