Saab will unveil the new generation 9-3 in late 2012. Built on an all-new platform (known internally as the "Phoenix Architecture"), the new model will also get a hatchback version reminiscent of the classic 900 and a cabriolet version. The new Saab 93 will have as main competitor the Audi A3 and will be priced at £18,000 (around $26,000 at the current rates). The new model will take its design inspiration from the new 9-5 sedan, but it will also get an aerospace-influenced touch. On the interior it will feature the same wrap-around dashboard theme, but with a minimal look in comparison to the Saab 9-5. There are rumors saying that Saab has signed a contract with BMW to supply BMW-derived diesel and petrol engines, including the new 184bhp 1.6-litre, twin-scroll turbo Cooper S engine and the 112bhp 1.6-liter diesel engine used in the Countryman. The new engines will be coupled to an all-new six-speed manual gearbox and a four-wheel drive system. .
8 comments: New Saab 9-3 coming in 2012; will compete with the Audi (...) I couldn’t help but compare this vehicle with the Saab 9-5. The engine performance of this car is not that impressive compare to its predecessor. BTW, I don’t like the look of this vehicle it doesn’t look sporty.
 As long as the people is willing to put on their money, automaker will continuous to a to car like this.
 great design, very muscular and more angle than the audi a3. for sure this is a hard pick for the both car.
 it looks more aggressive than the audi a3.. it has the killer look of a sports car and comfort of a luxury vehicle.
