Latest Saab 9-5 Facelift

As some of you might know, Saab made their second facelift on their flagship 9-5 (Both Sedan and SportsWagon).

This included new front and rear design with chrome "Glasses" around the headlights, and new rearlights (wich kinda resembles newer Audi Lights).

The front bumper has also been changed alot, though I did like the previous design of the front bumper better.

10 Extra HP has been added to the Aero (2.3T) Model and that means 260hp and 350nm, wich is pretty enough for a car like that. The Sedan sprints from 0-60mph (0-100kph) in 6.9sec, and tops 250kph.

Here's some Before and After pics for you:

See, i live in Saab vs Volvo land, and all the Volvo people generally hate every new thing Saab comes out with, whatever it is. And ofcourse, since chrome "Glasses" have never before been made, they hate them more than anything Saab ever could've manufactured.

So, what do you guys think? Better, or worse?

Me, I like everything but how the chrome looks on the red ones. Looks like shit. And that they should've kept the old Aero kit, and made the new one the Vector kit or whatever.

Headlights look terrible, though the rest of the car still looks good.

It looks good. The tail lights look pretty 06 civic sedanish.

My only beef with it is the stereo, it looks like it was pulled straight out of the GM parts bin.

But, I do hope that blacked out headlight theme doesnt carry over to the 9-3.

The 9-2x and the 9-7x don't count as Saabs in my mind.
