<br />We've been seeing disguised spy shots of Saab's pivotal new 9-5 sedan for some time now, and we've liked what we've seen, even if we haven't been able to peel back the covers all the way. Well, a spate of scanned images have hit the internet of what appears to be a production-ready example, and we're cautiously graduating our emotions to genuine excitement.<br /><br />The images, apparently scanned from <span class="posttext">German magazine <a href="http://www.autozeitung.de/"><em>Autozeitung</em></a> </span>by MotiveMag forum user saabspider, depict a handsome sedan with a confident face, an aggressive rearward tapering greenhouse (emphasized by the chrome J-kick trim band), and a short, tapered rear deck that remind us vaguely of Saab 900 sedans of yore. <br /><br />The interior also looks inviting, maintaining Saab's traditional driver-oriented 'cockpit' feel, with liberal use of glossy black and matte metal accents.<br /><br />Will the new 9-5 be enough to save the perennially troubled Swedish automaker as it moves toward independence? Check out the gallery below and then let us know what you think in the 'Comments' section.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/">2010 Saab 9-5 Autozeitung images</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/2159271/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2010sa15_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/2159272/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2010sa17_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/2159273/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2010sa18_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/2159270/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2010sa13_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saab-9-5-autozeitung-images/2159269/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/2010sa12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://forums.motivemag.com/zerothread?id=4488217">Mo tiveMag</a> forums via <a href="http://twitter.com/AutoTrader_com">Twitter</a>]<br /><br /><br /><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/22/spy-shots-are-you-the-2010-saab-9-5/">Spy Shots: Are you the 2010 Saab 9-5?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:56:00 EST.
