We suspect that's more of a ploy to draw in big dollars, but a top notch Saab 9-5 will help improve the value of the perennially struggling Swedish automaker regardless. Judging from these new spy photos of the interior and rear end, the 9-5 appears to be shaping up nicely, at least.<br /><br />The completely naked though somewhat impeded view of the 9-5's rump shows off smooth, rounded proportions and a chrome strip that runs clear across the deck lid. Also visible is Audi-like LED accent lighting around the tail lamps. Visible from a separate photo is a rakish, four door coupe-like rear window. The A-pillar looks oddly steep, though, giving it a family resemblance to the outgoing 9-5. <br /><br />Shots of the interior show what appears to be high-end materials with double stitching and chrome appliques. The scribes at <em>CARSCOOP</em> point out that the interior looks a whole lot like that of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-saab-9-4x-biopower-concept-live-reveal/">Saab 9-4x concept</a> from the 2008 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Detroit-Auto-Show/">Detroit Auto Show</a>. The 9-5 prototype even has a similar-looking <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/detroit-2008-saab-9-4x-biopower-concept-1/566504/">thee-point steering wheel</a>. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/05/2010-saab-9-5-first-undisguised-photos.html">CARSCOOP</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/15/spy-shots-oh-so-good-saab-9-5-rear-end-and-interior-spotted/">Spy Shots: Oh-So-Good Saab 9-5 rear end and interior spotted</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 15 May 2009 10:29:00 EST.
