2010 Saab 9-5? Opel Insignia Test Mule Spied with Saab Interior
The next-generation Saab 9-5 sports sedan has been an on-off project for quite a while now and even though the vehicle is supposed to be in showrooms by 2009, we have yet to see any decent prototype models on the road. Instead, for the past few years Saab's engineers have been fiddling around with Opel Vectra and now, Opel Insignia test mules. These latest scoop pictures were shot by a reader of Sweden's Auto Motor & Sport magazine who stumbled upon a camouflaged Opel Insignia in a ferry boat from Denmark. A closer look inside revealed that the test mule was equipped with a Saab-styled dashboard.
not sure how I feel about a Saab Insignia - tho I really-like (almost Love) its styling,
wonder if it would be upscale enough for Saab
but
that side/rear-quarter pic does remind me of an old 9-5 rendering:

That Saab is hot!! ^^^
I think, they are using insignia mules to test systems without betraying their real sheetmetal. Saab's direction has been towards Aero X lately. I doubt they would rebadge an opel. especially in Europe, that would be suicide.
I belive the 9-3 is going to be on a heavily modified Cruze platform with XWD with the 9-5 getting smaller to be the size of the current 9-3. Saab will also have a 9-1 which will be even smaller
