With the arrival of the upmarket 9-5 Griffin, named after the mythical beast with a body part eagle and part lion, Saab may finally have the claws to fight back against those marques. So far it is the only vehicle to sport the V6 3.0-litre turbo engine, but Saab has endowed its new flagship with the usual levels of safety and creature comforts. Unfortunately, the turbo technology means the insurance bills will still be high and parts prices also lean towards the high side. The company has moved to lift customer service levels by introducing a 2500 km free adjustment check and there also is a trial underway with mobile servicing vans. What this means is that the car is deceptively quick and when the boost hits, the car surges with purpose.
