The Saab 9-5 received a major update for 2006 with revised exterior styling and a revamped interior, including a much-needed cleanup for the dashboard. The 9-5's three trim levels and three engine choices were trimmed to a single model with a more powerful engine, and the wagon became known as the SportCombi. Changes for 2007 are minimal: the Sport Package is now called the Aero Package, and an ice-blue Anniversary Edition will be offered mid-year.
