I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

the new Saab 9-3 / 9-5. 2 pics and stories.

general car and site related talk and chat.

if you like the new saab 9-3 or 9-5 then you will most likely enjoy the new saab 9-2....
two engine options:
2.5 litre 165hp four cylinder non-turbo
2.0 litre 227hp four cylinder turbo

the 9-2 is going to be saabs first all wheel drive hatchback and it isnt even made by saab, its manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries, Japan

the 9-2 is a different version of the Subaru RS impreza and the WRX impreza, underneath, it has subaru power/drivetrain/everything under the hood, but from the outside, it looks like a saab


ill look for pictures and more info and see if i can post them later :)

from the top drawing of the car. i like it. the backend kinda looks like a new SI the way the tails are. but it has a nice flow. :up: for that car.

yup, i see that too. however, the front looks a bit too aggressive to me. 227hp-turbo in a hatch sounds mighty nice though...:up:
