The New Saab 9-5

Since Spyker bought the Saab brand from General Motors during the Global Financial Crisis, and Spyker reinvigorates the Swedish brand, we can see that Saab is the "Militaires Sans Frontieres (Soldiers Without Borders)" of the automobile industry, and the second-generation Saab 9-5 is their outer heaven or so we love to call it.



Once they call it a "phoenix rose from the ashes", we call it the Outer Heaven of Sweden, since Spyker Cars resurfaced the near-death Swedish car brand. Slated to be on sale this year, the new 9-5 proves to its Scandinavian brothers how worthy to be called a soldier without borders. To examine the true phantom beauty of the Saab 9-5, the exterior combines the aptitudes of the sports car and the luxury car to become the perfect sedan that has everything the potential men have to try it.

The interior has a commanding presence that is well suited for a well-mannered executive who are out from their mother bases, I mean, their businesses from day to night. The cockpit is designed to be more combat-ready, like how Saab dedicated to produce fighter jets, thanks to its heads-up-display, optional navigation system, instrumental clusters, and climate control. There is also an available rear seat entertainment system to cool down stressed executives, great for those who want to watch some war movies or even listen to some classical songs tempted to ease out their war stress.

Straight in the eyes of an car enthusiast, the new 9-5 offers several engines to choose from, such as the 2.0L turbodiesel engine, 2.0L turbo engine, and the flagship 2.8 V6 engine. There might be an 1.6L turbo engine and the 2.0-litre BioPower E85 engine available soon. Most 9-5 variants are six-speed semi-automatic equipped but do not let your boss caught you playing with the paddle shifters! The new 9-5 may come with an optional Saab XWD for the best all-wheel-drive experience.

My thoughts about the 9-5:

Can you declare Spyker Cars a heaven or hell for Saab? Its neither heaven nor hell, its Outer Heaven for Spyker Cars gaining ownership for Saab and the true meaning of Militaires Sans Frontieres would be right under the Big Boss of Saab Spyker Cars, Victor Muller himself. The new Saab 9-5 makes a formidable foe against its potential rivals such as the Nissan Fuga, Kia K7, Toyota Crown and Mark X, Lexus IS and GS, and the MB E-Class. It may also pick a fight against the new BMW 5-Series for its outer ops.

As expected, the new Saab 9-5 is worthy to be called a soldier without borders because it drives without borders.
