I remember that Saab was cool? There was a time not so long ago, when the square was a small Swedish car status symbol for young generations and top mobile (cheaper than Beamer, and so much better than my father's old jalopy hand-me-down). Since then, they are largely the province of the Swedish death metal teenager (who can somehow five of his closest friends cram into the tiny hut longhaired). Seems the introduction of the 9-5 Aero XWD, the company that started in the air ready for a long awaited return to his position and returned to win at the elite automakers.
Apparently the last person in line outside a lot slimmer than the previous iteration of Saab. With a body style somewhere between Toyota and Bentley, which still retains some of his signature flair with a bit snubbed tail and arched windows, and 'ice block headlights, but experienced a modern update. If you saw it on the road, you do not want you there is really striking coupe stretched Saab. In short, they were again her car line in accordance with their passion for great design, but with a new eye for the ordinary consumer.
The interior has the luxury of the same transformation with crazy-shaped seating (including well-designed head and neck support), lots of legroom and an in-dash ignition (START), which recently has come into fashion (even if the brand has Saab years). And with many airbags, rollover sensors, anti-whiplash technology, you can feel safe while driving elegance and simplicity. Add to butter-soft padding on the right touch of brushed aluminum and chrome accessories, and uniform in the trunk rail (which is easily adaptable to secure luggage, etc.) and have a car on a par with other luxury cars in his class. Cool accessories include navigation, MP3 capability (with a 40 GB hard drive), and heads-up display (HUD) units, making sure in-dash character (speedometer, odometer, etc.) without your eyes off the road.
If the performance is stunning 9-5, but not over the top. 2.8-liter turbo V6 produces about 300 horsepower and 0-60 in the very respectable 6.9 seconds. Automatic transmission is smooth as silk and there is hardly a hesitation between gears, even when the engine is shot and the turbo, paddle shifters payments have real alternative manual control, unlike other "smart" programs that try to work for you. Aero XWD model also comes with a feature called run sentence that motorists choose to chassis settings, Comfort, Sport and ongoing adaptive intelligent way. Wheel Drive, ABS, traction and stability control, ventilated disc brakes all around and the list as a unit, it was very funny and entertaining.
Although the price tag is slightly high standards for Saab (with MSRP of $ 49,165), slightly less gifted model (with front wheel drive, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder) will shave about $ 10 000 from the asking price. But the price is in line with the class, Saab seems to deliver similar packages to competitors such as Acura, Lexus, Infiniti and even BMW and Audi. So for a luxury-seeker looking for something else (but still very tasty), the new Saab 9-5 Aero XWD just the ticket.
