Picture this spy shows that Saab is a Saab 9-5 sustainable development estate, although the parent company GM has begun the process for closing the company down. GM sources have confirmed that if the closed Saab 9-5 or 9-3 new planned will not be rebadged as the other GM products, making testing even more interesting.

The only prospect of a production Saab 9-5 is if the last ditch effort to buy a Saab succeed. Talks with Spyker and ongoing capital Genii - and recent reports indicate a framework agreement with Spyker could be on the verge to be announced.

Based on GM's Epsilon II platform, which features new 9-5 saloon and estate styling with a long, slender, sloping C-pillar and the faint-out A-pillars, to provide aircraft-like screen cover, which is a nod to the airline's past. This feature is cool, open and neat cabin, coupe-like profile, similar to the Vauxhall insignia, while there are LED lights on the back. Inside, the cabin features an elegant leather upholstery, a navigation system and the central thick-rimmed steering wheel is taken from the insignia.

We are not sure if it was real or not the agreement as the color and the lights on the body suggested it is a static image, alloy wheels seem to have been shot on the move. We do not know. But with the future of Saab waiting for this moment, it may not matter as GM except closing the deal with prospective buyers for the unit of Sweden, the possibility that both the new 9-5 sedan and the estate's brother will never see the light of production.
