Saab story: Final Saab 9-5 has left the building


The last 9-5 was produced on July 2, 2009.

You could never accuse the current Saab 9-5 of lacking staying power: The Trollhättan produced car has been in production since 1997. The Saab 9-5 received a couple of refreshes in 2002 and 2006, but has been basically the same design for 12 years.

While quite competitive when first launched, the Saab began to slip behind the pack as the years piled on. The 2006 refresh gave the 9-5 a nose job that did little to improve the car's appearance.

No matter its warts, the Saab 9-5 will long be remembered as a very comfortable, safe car. The next generation 9-5, set to debut at this year's Frankfurt Auto Show, would do well to emulate its predecessor's lengthy tenure.
