With the demise of the 9-2X, the 9-3 is now the entry-level Saab offering. A redesigned interior features new stereo and climate controls, and a 6-speed manual replaces the 5-speed as the standard transmission on 4-cylinder models. OnStar and XM Satellite Radio both join the features list, as do several new exterior colors.
