You want to see a ripoff of the E60? Check out the 2009 Accord. Its so damn obvious its without shame. I can't even understand how Honda designers could do this without feeling total embarrassment in their profession with this abomination. I've driven this car as a loaner by the way, and the interior is cheap as hell and it handles like crap.
+1 My mom has a new accord and it is a total ripoff right down to the dashboard! Since it's the same color as my e60, I have driven it and nobody knew the diff Nice car for the money though and very trouble free. Certainly not a leader in design though! This is the saab that IS a ripoff, maybe this is what you meant?

The Saab seems to be missing a driveshaft.

The rear looks like a Lexus LS460.

sorry to offend any SAAB lovers. My personal opinion SAAB is the most ugliest non-American car company.

i dont seem much if any resemblance to a bmw. the rear looks like a jag xf, but that's it.

i owned a 2002 saab 9-5 aero that i bought over an e39.

one of the best cars i have ever owned... in fact, i know they are very different, but my e60 reminds me of how i felt when i drove the saab. minus the torque steer, of course.
Prior to my 2003 540i Sport, I leased a 1999 Saab 9-5 SE V6. The interior room and features were terrific. The suspension, however was the worst POS I have ever driven -- floppy as hell in the turns while harsh over the bumps -- the worst of both worlds. No body control and no comfort.

The Koeniggsegg cannot pay GM all they require for the Saab licence, and the Swedish government refuse to chip in with the rest (3/4) of the cash needed.
Latest is that Koeniggseg will pull it of, a secret investor will chip in the ammount GM wants.

This is my first post, im from Norway, just bought my 520i, 2004. Owned a Mercedes CLK 200 Kompressor before the BMW (have not received it yet)
It has 170HP and costed me 60 000 USD! It is amazing to me how big difference the car prices are in USA versus Norway. I envy you because you can own cars with many horsepower!! I will post pics when I receive it! Tips for making it more sexy. are gladly received.
