There have been several reports recently in the European press where Saab have gone on record to say that developing a vehicle beyond the 9-5 - i.e. another big luxury sedan/saloon is not on the development roadmap anymore.
Several of the reports have indicated that Saab have sales target of 250,000 units per annum - and to do that they need to go the other way and build a high-tech quality vehicle that's VW Golf/AudiA3 sized - i.e. smaller than 9-3.
It does make you wonder if the 9-5 will be replaced at all now - go drive a new 9-3 - it is smaller on the outside for sure - but somehow seems the same size (certainly in the front) as our beloved 9-5 on the inside.
