The Saab 9-5 is an executive car produced by the Swedish automobile maker Saab. The first generation was introduced in 1997 as the replacement to the Saab 9000 for the 1998 model year. At the time, the car represented a great leap forward for Saab. In the United States, the 9-5 was introduced in the spring of 1998, for the 1999 model year. At September 15, 2009 the second generation was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show and production began in June 2010. It is the first Saab to be launched under Spyker Cars ownership, even though it was developed completely under GM's ownership.
