CONFIRMED:
9-3: The 2.0T model will get optional all-wheel-drive (Cross Wheel Drive or XWD in Saab-speak), while V6-powered 9-3s with XWD get a fancy electronically-controlled rear differential. A new 2.0T Sport model will combine the 9-3 Aero's body kit with the 2.0T's mechanicals. V6-powered Aero models get a 30-horsepower bump to 280 hp, and wagons get an improved roof-rack design.
9-5: With a new 9-5 expected in 2010, the 9-5 marches into 2009 with minimal changes. Expect the new 9-5 to be significantly nicer -- and more expensive -- than the current car.
9-7X: Bluetooth phone compatibility is now offered. The new Special Altitude Edition includes a navigation system and unique polished 18" wheels.
RUMORED:
9-1: Saab will reportedly field a new small car based on the next-generation Saturn Astra.
9-4x: The 9-4x CUV, shown in concept form at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show as the 9-4x BioPower concept, is expected to make its official debut some time in 2009.
Next: Saturn
Previous: Rolls-Royce
