VIDEO: Chris Bangle Butts Heads with Jason Castriota at SAAB's Geneva Motor Show Stand

You might think watching two world-renowned designers talking cars would be entertaining . . . and you'd be right on the money. Rising star and Saab's current hot shot design director Jason Castriota penned the PhoeniX concept. Chris Bangle, known for turning BMW on its head with his flame surfaces and unique rear ends, was hanging around Geneva and decided to chat with Castriota about his "aero" style.

Check out the video below for a minute and a half of a little (friendly?) banter between two polarizing designers as they discuss what makes the PhoeniX a Saab.

VIDEO: 2010 Saab 9-5 Sedans Filmed During Testing in Sweden

Seems like Saab has notched up a bit the development of the 2010 9-5 Sedan as we're seeing more and more prototype models making their appearance on public roads. In this video we see a whole parade of 9-5 Sedans camouflaged in the usual checkered theme. We're not entirely sure, but due to the number of people and vehicles seen in the film, it may be that this convoy of 9-5s was some sort presentation to selected journalists.

Saab's replacement for the ageing 9-5 saloon is heavily based on the Opel Insignia with which it shares the same platform and engine range. Unless Saab decides to surprise us, the new 9-5 will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show this autumn.
