Welcome to Found Off The Street, our look at cars usually found on the cape that rust liked so much it decided to summer there; Cape Cod, MA. Today we have a "found off the cape" 1971 Saab 96.

Saab's teaser site for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show includes pitches for a refreshed 9-3, the European debuts of the new GM-based 9-4x, the 9-5 wagon and something simply tagged "Concept Car" that looks vaguely like a Saab should look.

Trollhättan has one foot in the grave, and it's not clear if she's coming back. Saab History wants to organize a caravan to Detroit to coincide with next week's moment of truth. Think cars should have soul? Listen up.

This morning, a day after we reported GM's keeping options open on Saab beyond December 31st, Automotive News reports GM will restart some production lines in January including the 2010 Saab 9-5. So Saab's alive. For the moment anyway.

What you normally find under the bulbous hood of a Saab 92 is a 2-cylinder, 2-stroke lawnmower motor barely able to keep up in traffic. This one's got the V6 from a modern Saab 9-5.

In the press conference where it was announced Mr. Fritz "No Badge Engineering" Henderson was resigning, GM also stated there were suitors for Saab despite the Koenigsegg deal falling through. The board will considering offers until the end of December.

Since splitting from GM, Saab has promised to take a new, more Scandinavian direction and the new 2010 Saab 9-5 is the first step. With an all-turbocharged powertrain and beefy styling, this is one spicy meatball.

After forum fan-boys at TCL posted scanned images from German magazine Autozeitung of the 2010 Saab 9-5 depicting the new Swedish meatball inside and out, AutoBild's gone live with a whole slew of shots. Mega-gallery below.

The Swedes have done an excellent job keeping the pending 2010 Saab 9-5 tightly under wraps, with only the faintest hints as to its final look. Too bad these renderings leaked onto the web.
