The leak-masters are at it again.
The 2010 Saab 9-5 has been revealed in all its glory across Europe three months ahead of its Frankfurt Motor Show debut. Although unconfirmed, these images reveal a progressive new design, sharp styling and some styling cues from past Saabs.
The newcomer adopts a coupe-like stance similar to the current sedan-coupe designs from Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen.
Like the current 9-5 and 9-3 the new 9-5 has a more streamlined, deep-set chrome highlighted grille that blends into the bumper and eyebrow headlight treatment.
The clean rear end looks as though it has LED lights. The car will be built on a bigger platform, shared with the Opel Insignia.
A range of twin-turbo diesels, 2.0-litre petrol and 3.6-litre V6 petrol powerplants are expected.
In profile the 9-5 borrows some signature cues from the old 900 series with a blackout treatment on A and B pillars while the long roofline flows into the boot in an almost coupe-like intention.
The big sedan cannot come soon enough for the beleaguered Swedish brand. It will be the first all new 9-5 since the current shape was introduced more than 10 years ago.
