SPY SHOTS! 2008 SAAB 9-3 Rear

Two new photos have popped up on the Saab Turbo Club of Sweden forum today. They were taken in a car park (is it Saab's own?) full of vintage Swedish metal.

This shows the rear tail lights fairly clearly. The big question is whether or not the black surrounds are real and permanent, or some sort of masking.

Read on (and see a closeup pic) at TrollhattenSAAB.net

I love it. It's very frosty/icy-cool.

I think the refreshed 9-3 looks very good. I think this points to an absolutely fabulous Epsilon 2 9-3 in a couple of years.

The black around the tail lights looks a little to rice for my taste! The rest of it looks good.

i would guess that similar to the clear tails that you can buy for the wagon these will not be standard on the us spec cars

Judging a by the dual exhaust, the clear tailights might be for the Aero model. Please get rid of the trunk lid chrome bar "this ain't no Lincoln" and while they're at it the V6 turbo. SAAB sedans were meant for 4cyl. Turbo's.

I'd probably opt for a black one to mask the black outlined taillights. It resembles a raccoon.

Love it!

Reminds me of vintage '90s Pontiacs that lost their coloring. I can't help but like it.

Do we have any idea what the interior will look like? Same as 2007 or will it be updated as well?

I really, really like it. I think the next gen 9-3 will look awesome.

Updated. No pics yet though.

I love this car.

For me, it just completely blows away the 2008 CTS.

I liked the pre-refresh 9-3 already, but with the exterior fixup, it's just rocking.

Interior is suppose to remain the same, which was great anyways!

I love the aircraft styled interior.

Makes you feel like you're flying a JA 37 Viggen.

Ok, there's no resemblance, but it's a feel! I'm addicted to buttons!
