Is it pretty big compared to the Audi Q5 or the Volvo XC60 or is it not? It does not look very hefty when in the real world like in your parking lot picture with a olden audi to the left and a olden benz to the right. I have a hard time grasping the size of this car.

I'm really looking forward to see one in the flesh. The interior on the other hand i think is maybe better looking than the one in the 9-5. That single kinda oversized air vent on the passenger side (which you missed in your pics ;) ) is something extremely cool. I choose to take your liking of the "wood effect" with a grain of salt.

Which one holds the most dogs (or litres)? What’s the boot size comparison between the 9-4X and the 9-5 SC? Which one holds the most dogs (or litres)?

It will be very nice to read your comparison with the Premium model (which I belive will be a Vector in Sweden - and Base a Linear?). Especially the performance of the 3.0i engine will be interesting to hear about. :) By the way, do you know why the 9-3 SportSedan and SportCombi are missing on the Saab Sweden website (saabsverige.com)? Maybe some system administrator clicked a wrong link in the back office? It surely looks strange with only the 9-3 Convertible, 9-3X and 9-5 Sedan as it is now...

The only potential issue I see with the seats in normal position is the slope of the rear door.
