Saab 9-5
The ageing 9-5 gets no major changes for 2009. Back are its sedan and station wagon versions, and 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo engine. Though it got several cosmetic changes two years ago, and it boasts a more affordable price tag than its rivals, it isn't particularly successful. Unlike its rivals, the 9-5 was not modified according to the clientele's desires. In fact, it is the only car in its category to be powered by a four-cylinder engine.
