	"Ethanol is stupid. Litre for litre, it contains only two-thrids the energy of petrol while increasing fuel consumption. Tat's something the advocates never mention. Another thing they don't discuss is the sustainable fossil fuel energy required to make ethanol. Plus there's not enought arable land in Australia to supply our road transport energy needs (not to mention there would be the small problem of nothing to eat!). The so-called second-generation non-food-crop feedstocks currently under development pose biosecurity risks. Except from the perspective of some farmers and the companies that make the stuff, ethanol is a dumb choice. And because it encourages burning ethanol, the Saab 9-5 BioPower is just plain stupid, too." '''Wheels Magazine'''		"Ethanol is stupid.

	The 9-5 engines are refreshed and all come with new 6 speed Automatics driving the front wheels or all wheels. The XWD system features eLSD limited slp differentials that will limit wheelspin and loss of traction and will be powered by the top of the range V6 Turbo. For standard equipment, the 9-5 gets adaptive bi-xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, adaptive chassis tuning, keyless entry and starting, dual-zone climate control air conditioning and dynamic parking assistance.

			With the new model, the cabin is bigger giving more leg and shoulder room particularly at the back. The dashboard is driver-focused and cockpit designed to keep up Saab's reputationof building fine aircrafts. The key start is replaced with a stop/start button located next to the gear lever.

			This generation 9-5 is a long awaiting model after 12 years in production. Revealed at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, this car is the new era for Saab after Koenigsegg bought the brand from the struggling General Motors as it went under Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the 9-5 is the most crucial model to pave through future models.

The XWD system features eLSD limited slp differentials that will limit wheelspin and loss of traction and will be powered by the top of the range V6 Turbo.
