Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
This is hardly a teaser shot it's completely shadowed. The average auto enthusiast wouldn't be able to discern this car from anything else.

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
There's way too much Malibu in there for my taste. Or maybe Astra. No no, the Vibe. It definitely copies the Vibe.

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
I am really intrigued with this car. I hope it will help bring SAAB out of its decades old funk.

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
Did anyone else notice the headline states it's called the 9-1X? Will this Saab mini be XWD capable???

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
i'm sure the ride height says that it will be XWD (AWD), but Saab also uses X for there concepts so i guess we'll see.
I'm positive they will make a more affordable FWD base model like Audi does.At least I hope they would for the markets that don't need the AWD feature. Also lets hope Saab has integrated new technology ie: Blue tooth, nav and USB adapter. This 9-1 is on my short list.

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
Hope it looks better then the Vovlo C30 and with XWD it could have some great high perfomance models

Re: Saab 9-1 teaser
Can't wait to see this in person. I hope that it's a stunner.
Between this car, the new 9-4X, and a forthcoming all-new 9-5, Saab should be getting some good attention from the market. If we can get a "9-0" in there as well to challenge cars like the Mini, A2, future Alfa Junior, etc -- like that MT article speculated -- then they'd be pretty set for the next few years and really flush out that lineup.

Anyway with an X can we consider a AWD. A turbocharged 300 bhp I4 AWD on the top of the line model to take on the Subaru's. Biopower 1.6 DI for the global warming people. IKEA without the assembly for the interior, all in all we could have a winner for GM. |
