Thanks, Martin. Well a “reverse takeover” of NEVS by Orio would seem very unlikely but I see where you are coming from…
As for the 9-3 you referred to in the link, if I remember correctly it is the prototype that was mentioned in the reconstruction plans from SAAB Automobile AB back in late 2011.
This design was supposedly reasonably advanced in its development already, so depending on who owns the IP rights to the design today and the direction that NEVS’ current and future owners may have, who knows if this car may roll off the production line one day…

I clandestinely dream about Orio taking over the whole factory and bringing out the new and then again swedish 9-3, because their homemade design was the best:

Great suggestions and I’m sure there will be many more!

Some things for the 9-5 I could think of are:
-A body kit for the 9-5, in order to improve its drag coeffcient.
-A sound dampening kit for the 1.9 TiD
-Frosted backlights, like in the BioPower car in the Saab Museum
-An Apple Carplay/Google Auto compatible head unit with full cableing (avoiding the cable mess that is now inevitable).
-Daylight lights, or even a complete redesigned headlight unit with LEDs.

No, rather the opposite, Benito. Orio is committed to supply SAAB spare parts for many more years to come. They report to have increased the number of different parts on stock (from 90% to 99%) and in addition they bought several tools in order to be able to supply parts in the future too. So good news.
