Underneath the shared GM Epsilon platform, the second-gen 9-3 hid something its Opel Vectra and Chevy Malibu cousins didn't: a proprietary fiber-optic electrical system all its own.

Launching the 9-3 convertible, Saab actually took a step back on the roof: it swapped the old 900's electric folding top for a hydraulic one.
