Saab models.... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 2003 9/3 conv, john, Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:02:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A 2003 Saab 9-3SE Convertible is still an "NG900 & OG93", new generation 900 and old generation 9-3. The OG9-3 is basically the same car and sheetmetal as the NG900, but with seat mounted head and torso air bags as well as minor trim and tail light changes and most importantly a switch to hydraulic top operation on the verts from the previous troublesome electric top of the NG900.
The sedans switched to the newer body/chassis design in 2003 and the designation changed to 9-3SS, "SS" for Sport Sedan, but the OG9-3 verts soldiered on for the 2003 model year. The verts were a year behind also when the switched designs from the C900, classic 900 to the NG900s in the 94 model year, the C900 vert hung around for 1994.
This is not true for the first 9-3's in 1999, the verts and the sedans switched the same year and there was no carryover of the old design.
I'm sure our BB moderator Scott will move your post to the correct BB for better advice. Welcome john.
