2009 Detroit Preview: Saab 9-5 Griffin Edition

The latest Saab announced for the Detroit Auto Show is the 9-5 Griffin Edition. Why Griffin you ask? Well, according to the manufacturer this comes from the Gripen (Swedish for Griffin) - the first of the new generation of multi-role combat aircraft to enter into active service, developed by Saab Aircraft AB in Sweden.

The new vehicle will be available in four-doors sedan and five-door sportcombi models, each powered by the 2.3-liter four cylinder engine capable to deliver an impressive 260 hp and fitted with a five-speed manual or automatic transmissions without paying extra money.

At the exterior the car comes with a matte chrome front grill, new frames around the Xenon headlamps, a new rear trunk spoiler for the sedan and a roof spoiler and roof rails in matte finish for the sportcombi version.
