This new car sure has stirred up things in here and it seems opinion is split about 50/50 on those who like the new car and those who dont. I, for one, am one of those who likes the new car and can bet anyone that this car will increase Saab sales worldwide by 50pc within the next 3years. Remember when the 9-5 replaced the 9000, in the first year in the US sales in this 'premium' sector were up 300pc? The reason? The US public obviously wanted a sedan and NOT a hatchback and Saab market research shows that 60pc of sales on this so-called "D" market are sedans with the rest being wagons and coupes so Saab had no representation in this sector at all. The '9-3S' has changed that! The convertible will likely increase Saab sales even further as Im sure this car is gonna look so hot.
What we have to accept is that Saab was not doing well and to change nothing would see the demise of a great car brand. This new 9-3 is going to be a true sports sedan that will give BMW and Audi a few sleeples nights. The proof will be in the driving and I bet this new 9-3 will eat up the competition. Saab just has to get the ad campaign spot on to let the world know what they have been missing. e are looking at a major success story here, why cant we just accept this is the way things are and be proud of the new car?
What do I like about the new 9-3? The interior is gorgeous and a close look at some of the high definition photos shows there are really not that many buttons on the dash but I do have a question, where is the CD player? I like the front and back views a lot and the profile will grow on me with time. If I could afford it Id put my money down on one for sure!!!!
