Many thanks. >H. Here you go: USA issue of European Car, April 2001, pg 14 (World News section): "2003 Saab 9-3 The current Saab 9-3 has been on the market since 1993 and is due for a replacement. Accordingly, Saab (and General Motors) has developed an all-new successor to be launched in the second half of 2002 for the model year 2003. It is based on the Epsilon-platform, which will also be the base for the upcoming new Opel/ Vauxhall Vectra and for the next Opel/ Vauxhall Omega. For the first time, the new Saab will not only be available as a fastback coupe and convertible but as a booted sedan and a station wagon - the latter with four wheel drive and higher ground clearance as an option." The is a small photo of a new white sedan from the left rear quarter. It doesn't look that special - kind of bland lines. I am sure it will look great in reality. I think you are just going to have to wait a few months before you see a full write up on this car..... Go take a valium.
