Radu, congratulations to a great car. Must be nice to see this beautiful footage of YOUR car! It seems pretty much loaded, especially in comparison to the TiD I rented last summer, that was fairly basic (but with the nice color central display). Same color though, my favorite and great driving experience. Just before I had rented a brand new MB C300, and it was rather dull, even driving wise…
Not many new 9-5s around, especially in Romania I guess… Very exclusive!
Now, you enjoy that, I’m sure!
I´ve had a white 9-5 Aero TTiD, for a couple of days now since my GriffinSport is at service.
All I can say is that this is such an amazing car that if it never will be possible to get a new one, a year from now when it is time to change my car. Then I will by an used one.
The best car I´ve ever driven and I´ve had a few, and tested alot.
Great! Didn’t watch the whole thing, but what I saw was exciting. It’s good advert material and it’s a pity we don’t see this type of thing in an ad in my country. With the emphasis on interior luxury and gadgetry, it’s the sort of presentation you would see in Lexus ads.
I feel your pain. At 40-50k like in the US, they’d have sold a lot of cars. If we had the kind of deals they have in the US now, I’d be sorely tempted despite the warranty issues and uncertain future. People are picking these up for 25k over there…
Nope, it’s a de-uglified Camry. It owes a lot to a bar of soap and anodyne, but it has nothing on the 9-5. I get more excited looking at my refrigerator.
Just one comment – while the video is perfect, it’s perfect as a dealer promo. It would make a rather bad commercial. But who watches TV commercials those days anyway – everybody’s on YouTube anyway
Great job Saab in Romania , I own the same one in Grey (silver), great car, very fast, safe and roomy. To compete with S class or Audi A8 would need few refinements, other than that powerful car..

wow, congratulations, you have a VERY nice car =)
Radu said on February 14, 2012
Thanks Tim! It is indeed a beautiful car! The link with more photos is here http://0-100.hotnews.ro/2011/02/26/in-garajul-nostru-saab-9-5/
In fact it was after i saw the movie and a drive test that convinced me beyond the point of no return!

Congratulations, it’s a great car you got there
Just curious, but does the dealer already have the diagnostics tool for it ? Will that be an issue ?
Radu said on February 14, 2012
I think so yes!

I have to get one of those in the future, just it’s looks erases everything else on the market in my eyes..
B-eautiful!
Smithy said on February 14, 2012
Oh, and I saw two of them on the highway today, both were grey. Near Varmdo just outside Sthlm…
M.A. said on February 14, 2012
Congratulations!!!
I wish we could see more of these beauties on the road in a short term, and even own one, but it’s up to the” General”.
Pacey said on February 15, 2012
Does anyone notice that the new shape Toyota Aurion owes a hell of a lot to the Saab 9-5 design? I see a lot of these around and always think “what a Saab rip off!”. And then I feel very sad..

Even if I don’t understand a word Romanian, the pictures says it all. I just love that car. And the video. Great work!
