Topic: Saab 9-6X?

[Bullet Blue]

Seems there may be a 9-6X or a 9-4X to be introduced soon. Perhaps to compete with SUV's such as the BMW X3 and the like.

this is the one based on the Subaru B9 airplane. 

Surely it will sell more than the B9, with good looks.  But what will they call it?  A Saab?  Oh you mean the GM collection of stolen products.

The B9 Tribeca is all Subaru and not another experiment with the GM parts bin.  I agree that the 9-6X will look much better with the SAAB treatment.     

Also, the SAAB fans where outraged when they learned that one of their beloved SAAB would be built in the US. ( the 9-7X)  What are they going to think of a Japanese SAAB built in the US.    Not alot of swedish blood left in these cars

Saab is becoming a "brand" and not a manufacturer of car.  It will simply sell re-nosed Subaru and GM vehicles.  It's the Pontiac/Buick/Chev/Olds theory redone for the 21st century.  GM has a long history of trying to sell us the same car through six different dealerships.

The 9-6X is no more:

A vehicle like it might emerge but it will have nothing to do with subaru. It'll probably share some blood with GM it looks like
