A few more thoughts on new 9-3

When I saw the first pictures of the 9-5, back in 1997 I guess, I must admit I was not overly impressed. When I saw the actual car (at the New Hampshire convention), I remember thinking it looked much better in person. Today, we own a 01 9-5 and I still think it is beautiful car, although looks were not our foremost preoccupation in a car. Perhaps the 9-3, which does look a little bland on some pictures, will have the same effect. In any case, as I wrote before, companies like Nissan should be commended for their nice crisp fresh designs like the Altima, G35, Z 350.... but I prefer SAAB to put the bigger part of it's relatively limited resources on safety, engineering and ergonomics, which seems to be the case when you look at the impressive characteristics of the new 9-3. If SAAB keeps producing reliable cars with so much sophistication, I believe time will come when they can spend a little more on exterior design and create a few surprises. (Hopefully, as far as I am concerned, nothing like the 9X).
