I drove it at SOC, and the size doesn't bother me one bit. Frankly, I got the impression my 2000 9-5 is bigger on the inside, at least in the front. The added rear legroom is definitely welcome.
Saab needs to better differentiate their two main models, the 9-5 and 9-3, hence this car is a bit larger than the one it replaces. The 9-3SS and 9-5 were too close in size to provide a real reason for people to go for the bigger car. The other choice would have been to downsize the next 9-3, which would have been a much worse decision!
