I read it the other day. This guy is spot on! And with humour. It's not only because he is very positive about the Saab 9-5, that I like this review, though it indeed helps. :P Above all, he is fair.

Yes, Saabs are not for everyone but then neither are BMWs (drug dealers), Audi (Retired executives playing golf) or Mercedes (African dictators and EU bureaucrats). You buy a Saab because you want to be a bit different and not part of the herd, probably the same reason I have an Anrdoid phone and not an iPhone, and the NMA article captures that perfectly and lets face it, when he criticises some of the interior bits so what?, we can all find things we don't like. If he'd been criticising the engine or the panel fit or the dynamics of the vehicle then that would have been a problem. It's the sort of article that a european motoring journalist should be writing, but they're all so busy writing Saab off that we have to rely on our friends across the pond to do it for them. More power to his pen!! Great article and coming from an American just the sort of publicity Saab needs.

That's exactly it! “So many new cars are lifeless, personality-free appliances that it’s a
real treat for someone like me (and maybe someone like you, too) to find
one with a pulse.”

That’s exactly it!

Any chance you guys can get it ready in the next few weeks? It must be waiting somewhere on or near the production line ;-) Can’t wait to get my 9-5!!

I could not be anywhere, where i shouldn't be, as I soon found out, someone had seen me........ The Best was my weekly 'fast' run home 10pm every Sunday night from my Mum's home.  The local police, would wait for me  at the start of the A406 (new [then] dial carriageway, just south of the M25/M11, east of London, UK). I was 'pulled over' for weeks, just so the coppers could ask to sit inside & have a good look round it..... Oh for those hreat days, but hey that's what the new 9-5 is all about.....

Cars with personality and integrity are so very rare! I have seen quite a few of the new 9-5s recently in Copenhagen, and while I normally dont like cars that huge, I must say that this car appears so superior to all its competitors; Clean, unique, elegant, sophisticated - but not overdone or vulgar.

Hopefully, he can review the Saab 9-4X at a later time. Fantastic review, at least some journalists still get what Saab is about without putting the brand down.
