From that angle, I like it a lot. I even really like the look up front a lot from that low down angle. But who looks at the car lying on the pavement 6' away from it?? not even a mechanic!
The big negatives for me are:
- high window line + front end
- lost opportunity for a nice looking clamshell hood
- door mounted window switches
- only slightly closer to the 3 section grill than the 06-09 Dame Edna look (I thought it was almost unanimously recognized that the current 9-3 front end looks great, current 9-5 not so much (I'm with EGD on the 06-09)?? why not keep the product line consistent + good?)
- interior too gadgety, but at least pushes boundaries, which is cool
I'll be interested to see this in the flesh. I really hope it sells well for Saab's sake!
