We know automakers like to test prototypes in remote, freezing locations to ensure that they'll start and run properly when sold to a family of five in Buffalo, New York. Perhaps these <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/saab/">Saab</a> engineers are in such a remote corner of Sweden that they haven't heard the mothership has crashed. While Saab's future is still undecided, hope seems to dwindle by the day that we'll ever see the new 9-5 go on sale to the public - at least while wearing a Saab badge. Nevertheless, these engineers are still at their mobile desks in case a miracle happens.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/frankfurt-2009-2010-saab-9-5-is-proof-theres-still-some-flight/">next-gen 9-5</a> has already been outed and is a looker for sure. The SportCombi version (Saab-speak for wagon) adds an extra dose of practicality to those unique lines of the sedan and, from the look of the things, appears to operate just fine in crazy cold conditions. Not much else to report unless, you know, Saab survives.<br />
