As Saab once put so eloquently ‘Why wait for tomorrow?’ life is all about getting the most out of every day.
They went on to clarify; ‘Grab the opportunities and follow your instincts. With a Saab 9-5 Wagon, you can make it a habit. It gives you innovative solutions and versatility that integrate with your daily needs. At work, with your family or on the way to your favourite activity. Just go where you want and bring what you like – whatever the season’ in other words, the original SUV.
Although I also own a few SUV’s, the Saab Sportwagon does everything they can do and more. In fact, it does it with more style, more elegance and more enjoyment. The Saab 9-5 Sportwagon set out to be just that, sporty and practical, and 20 years on from that brochure, I still believe these are a better option.
‘Let your interests and lifestyle decide how you equip your Saab 9-5 Wagon. Depending on what you choose, you and your car will be ready for just about anything. Recreational activities, work or holiday trips.'
For many reasons, SUV's are a trend that never faded, but I'd still choose the Saab Sportwagon over any SUV, purely for the fact that they just feel better to drive. Their lower stance feels more connected to the road, you still get ample space for utility purposes, and they just feel far less cumbersome. Saab managed to design an exceptional form in the Sportwagon, the lines of the windows flow beautifully from front to back, whilst the side profile quietly suggests purpose.
I still like to stand back and admire the 9-5, and today, I thought I'd take it to a place that felt like home; a Nordic feeling forest, the perfect place for a few photos, made even more memorable with a mileage milestone, 123,456.
