If I was Saab product dev... Posted by davecl [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Earlier today there was a string about the changes to the 2005 9-5 and it sounds like there aren't any. That got me thinking...in the absence of information or insight, what would *you* do with the next 9-5? Describe the car. In reality, it will probably be a Subaru, but if it was a Saab what would it be? Here's my wish list:
Same 2.3 turbo, but somewhat more isolated and smoother.
Dual exhaust.
AWD option.
More front seat legroom.
More storage space in front.
Same seats.
Shorter throw on the five-speed, more positive shift action.
(The market demands a 6-spd, but with this much torque it's not really needed)
Better off-the-line performance.
Ignition between the seats, but give me a better arm rest.
Window controls on the driver's door (I know purists, but I want them there)
Appearance: front end like the current model, rear end a bit smoother, larger and longer rear window.
