God knows how they did it with literally no money at all, but Saab is readying a new 9-3. And it looks good.

The picture above was discovered in a presentation Saab supplied to a potential investor last year. The new 9-3 is said to a very strategic model for the Swedish firm, as the brand’s recovery plan relies heavily on it.

If Saab’s recent deal with Pang Da gets approved by the Chinese government, and everything goes to plan, the new 9-3 should be here by 2013. Along with it Saab is also developing new models in crossover and premium segments.

Based on the sketch above, the new 9-3 with its rakish design is going to scare off dentists and architects, the typical Saab customers! But hopefully it attracts a new, wider customer base and finally gets back on its feet.

We really do hope things work out for Saab this time around.
