I spotted an odd Saab (9-X)

Just_me · 06-14-2007, 11:53 AM

Never seen it before. Size of a Volvo XC90, front looked like the facelifted 9-3 and on the trunk it said 9-X.
The front was hot, the rear was weak.

I had to Google it and I found this

I'm from Sweden and I had no idea this car existed and its for sale didnt know that either. Very strange there is no talk at all about this car on the net. Strange!

Strange indeed...

Could it be some forthcoming concept or something like that?

Btw, it does look good, imo... Kinda reminds on LR a bit, but still looking good...

You didn't know it??!!

I saw one here in my hometown - in germany!!

The car looked really interesting. Not comparable to a Volvo XC90 or so. It looks extremely sporty...but the rear is ugly!

it's actually a gmc under all those saab badges. there is also a 9^2x which is just a rebadged subaru. gm really ruined a unique brand by whoring it out to every niche they found to be marginally profitable.

It's a Chevrolet TrailBlazer underneath, originally intended for the American market where it was introduced two years ago. It's also built in the U.S, but apparently it's officially available in some European countries as well, which was a surprise for me too. I've seen one, in Tallinn last year.

I'm quite surprised that this is sold in other countries. I wonder if it at least has a diesel?
