The Saab 9000 was a series of executive cars introduced for the 1985 model year. The 9000 was Saab's first attempt at creating an executive car, which the company offered in sedan (CD) and liftback (CC, CS) body styles. Over the course of production, Saab fit the 9000 with a 3.0L V6 or a range of naturally aspirated or turbocharged inline four engines. The CC liftback was the first variant offered, with the updated CS replacing it for the 1992 model year. Production of the Saab 9000 lasted until 1998, and the model was replaced by the Saab 9-5
