Third Generation
In February 2011, Spyker announced that a new version of the 9-3 would be launched in 2012 as a 2013 model based on the Saab Phoenix platform employed in the Saab PhoeniX concept car.
The car will also feature the new Saab IQon infotainment system as standard. The car will be designed by Jason Castriota. It will be available as a combi coupé/hatchback, convertible and crossover.
Due to Saab's bankruptcy proceedings, the third generation 9-3 has been delayed until Saab's future has been stabilized. The new owner of the Saab estate, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, have stated that they intend to start producing the all-electric 9-3 ePower from 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
“The greater part of our best years has been passed for our generation in these two great worldconvulsions. All will be changed after this war, which spends in one month more than nations earned before in years ... there is no more security in our time than in those of the Reformation or the fall of Rome.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
