folks,

I recently got myself a Saab 9-3 from a friend.

Impressive car...

It's sports sedan
Powerful 2.0 car
Exterior very balance look (Styling yet executive) smile_tongue.gif

Any Saab owners here? Perhaps some 9-3 owners out there...can catch up to share some thought of this toy

I also have been admiring it since they launch back then...Finally now I am driving one...
Pretty powerful....responsive engine.....Interior too many gadget la...Will take me sometime to understand them all.

yup. saab enthusiast and ex-employee of the local saab operations. i do know the club members pretty well. glad to say they are a pretty understanding bunch smile.gif i'm sure you'll get lots of help from fellow saabers in the club.

i like the facelifted 9-3 lots. it is sold in singapore. maybe u could get a half cut and convert the whole nose and the tail lights and rear bumpers. not much difference in the interior as the architecture remains pretty much similar.

somehow, the new 9-5 just doesn't look 'executive' enough to me. perhaps, the exterior, while trying to be clean and 'swedish' comes across to me as being a little too bland. they used to have the clamshell bonnet which is missing already sad.gif overall, the new 9-5 looks decent but could do with a little more aggression. the last model before this did have a mean look with the black out headlamps.

by the way, hi DC18. long time no c lah. what hv u been up to lately?

That's very good...
Saab specialist (operation and mechanic) are precious when the brand relaunch it here.
Keep in touch mate!!

Yeap...must agree with you on the new Saab 93 conversion. However, I am only interested with the front mod and the rear tail light still prefer the MY03 version.

I guess the following need to be replaced:
1. Head lamp
2.Front Bumper
3. Front Spoiler
4. Fender
5. Front Hood
6. Some electronics component to make the headlamp to be adaptive

Here are some teaser..... 059.gif
