Saab 9x Concept

Radical ideas from Saab

Front would need toning down and some real lights put in to give it a "face". Apart from that I could actually like that!! ARGH!!! I''m turning into a eurobox lover!!!!!!!!!!

This shape is growing on me, I Like this version, and i think that this particular design ethos is the direction alot of manufacturers are looking at, for the way forward , examples RX8 , Focus Coupe Concept and the Z Car

Knowing Saab, I take it this thing will have a reasonably meaty turbo engine?

Probably not. I expect the SVC engine they are currently testing in a 9-5 mule. 5 cyl 1.6 l 225bhp 35-40 mpg Look at the link below http://www.saab.co.uk/home/GLOBAL/en/vepsilon/index.html

I think it looks brilliant for a Saab. It just a shame that by the time they productionise it, it will probably look almost exactly the same as the current 9-5. I was a great fan of the Jag F-Type. I wrote to Jag and said "Make it, I want to buy one now". Next I hear they are experimenting with productionised design ideas, most of which are completely different to the prototype. Nooooo!
