Is that at this point, all of the R&D is done (and money has been spent), the only things left are to tool up and start building the new 9-5 for the consumers, in the hopes of getting back that money. New cars are such long-lead items, that they pretty much need to be designing the NEXT (2018?) 9-5 before the NEW one hits the streets.
As for spy shots, Saab has, historically, used subterfuge (the Toad, the 99/900, etc), and the cover of Scandinavian winters, to test their new cars. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if there were many test mules running around Sweden clothed as either the current 9-5, or even some form of Cadillac...
