Another German magazine has joined the 9-5 photo circus.
Auto Motor and Sport in Germany (Sweden, too) are now showing images of the 2010 Saab 9-5, shot in the last few weeks in Trollhattan (AMS Sweden are running with Autobild pics).
I thought it might be a good idea to show a few of these and accompany them with the 2010 Saab 9-5 info that GM left on the web back in May.
First, to some new photos. You can view the full set at AMS.de

And now, for the information as posted online by GM back in May in PDF form.

NOTE: As far as I can tell, the details below are US details only. AND the wagon will most likely come one year after the initial introduction of the sedan (i.e. MY2011).

As mentioned in the Auto Zeiting article, the proposed starting range of engines for the rest of the world will include:
- 1.6t (190hp),
- 2.0t (220hp),
- 2.8t V6 (300hp),
- 2.0TiD (160hp) and TTiD(190hp)
The two strongest petrol engines will have the XWD-option, the 2.0t with option for E85.
I also note that AMS Sweden are reporting TTiD4 means cross wheel drive with the TTiD engine.
