From what I'm able to glean from the text, it says "nearer" to 280 HP.
The spy shots were supposedly taken during testing in Norrbotten on the way from Trollhättan to Rüsselsheim, and yes, the new design is disguised but the photo reveals a front end becoming "more SAAB" with the three openings in the grill evident. The rear is more "pure" than today's. And there is some sort of reference to a 4-cylinder, not a V6. (Is it possible that the engine is fabricated in a place called "Södertälje"?)
Most important, though, is mention of the "fresh model" of 9-5 being set as a 2008, with release in the summer of 2007.
There appears to be a comparison to the audience of the new Audi A6 being only a few months away from theirs, whereas the this is only the second so-called "facelift" for the 9-5, due in August. The wholly new substitute for the 9-5, again, won't be out until 2008.
That's the best I can do with my limited translation skills. HTH.
