Since the Saab brand was ditched by General Motors, many people didn't expect a new 9-5 to ever hit the streets. But, following the company's purchase by Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg, there's finally a new one. And it's about time, too. The original 9-5 started production way back in 1997 to replace the Saab 9000, and it hasn't been significantly upgraded at all since that time. Yep, 12 years with no generation update. That seems almost inconceivable in today's market, so let's hope this new one is worth it
