Saab 9-3

Redesign pictures are out in the wild.

I think it looks nice. There are no interior pictures, but if the interior is as good as some of the newer GM interiors have been, it could be really good for them.

Just sad to see Saab still receiving so little attention. Too many other things to worry about.

Is it actually a all new redesign or just a freshened front clip with some other updated details?

It's a refresh. I don't think its Epsilon II.

Looks more like a 9-5 to me now.

Maybe I was wrong about this not being Epsilon II? Does anyone know if it is or isn't?

I'd really like to see some profile or rear angle shots. It looks really good from the front though.

Apparently this Epsilon I model will use a modified rear section and a Haldex AWD system, likely similar to the one VW uses.

And this IS Epsilon I.

Too bad they couldn't come up with that AWD solution earlier. An AWD Malibu Maxx would have been cool.
