Conclusion

We can say with reasonable certainty that the 9-3 will be arriving for MY 2008, with the 9-4X and 9-5 coming in 2009. What we don't know is the other three models that are integral to Saab's success. Saab is getting it's product revolution, and it needs to be done right. RIA's Saab lineup is a product blitz that will leave the lineup complete, with new and fresh product every year from 2008-2011. We add, 9-6X for 2009, and 9-1 and 9-9x rounding out the lineup on the top and bottom ends in 2010, with the all new, Epsilon II based 9-3 coming in 2011. Lutz is the best thing that has happened to GM. He's cut through the bureaucracy, renewed the spirit of design, and cut down walls to producing innovative, competent vehicles. He has set GM's designers free, unleashing GM's design and engineering prowess. What was previously scoffed at is now welcomed. And we're just starting to see the fruits of this. The best product is yet to come. Cadillac, a success story? Oh yeah. Most of what we've since the initial Cadillac revolution hasn't been luxury product, with the exception of the redesign of the interior on the SRX for 2007. Saab is a luxury brand, and it'll be getting it's complete revitalization under this new philosophy. Saab cars can be some of the most beautiful cars in the industry. Saab safety and innovation is top tier, and coupled with beautiful styling and well executed interiors, it will make for a winning combination. GM can use Saab as a weapon to gain and keep market share in the United States, like Saturn, an important source of sales growth. Realize the value of Saab, GM. You'll be glad you did. Let's take "Born from Jets" to a whole new altitude. Ready for takeoff?
