Another 9-6X shot

[bostonspider]

Found this shot, thought you all might be interested...

[91z4me]

What I find most interesting is that I thought the 9-6x would be a 4 door and it would be longer than the B9x, hmm looks interesting.

[sciguy_0504]

The fact that it has only 2 doors doesn't bother me as that niche is lacking in the current SUV market. It will attract singles or young couples without a family that want a SUV without any excess. Edit: What I don't like is the fact that there is too much B9 in the design. I'm starting to cry for Saab. :( :unsure: Edited September 22, 2005 by sciguy_0504

It's only someone's speculation, don't get upset over nothing. Reichel tends to do fanciful extensions, not real programs as well.

thanks griffon, I know Saab has better senses than to release a careless rebadge such as this (key word: careless).

[sciguy_0504]

I wish I knew what you know, turbie.

What's that supposed to mean :huh: ?

Not sure if that was sarcastic or what? :lol:

You can tell this is a chop because the headlights don't wrap around to the side of the car like the previous pics had shown us. Also, the headlight that we do see a bit of is too high.

No sarcasm here. Sorry if it sounded that way. I should have said something along the lines of, "I wish I had same faith as you do in Saab." I really hope that's not the 9-6x.

Looks like you can sleep at night.

[MyerShift]

Come on, this must be just a bad photo chop.

[Croc]

boooooo.......and just HOW CLOSE to launch was this? less than a year??

[turbo200]

and so goes the saga of Saab's product planning. The only way they will get a return on Saab is when they release vehicles with a distinct Saab design that is original and thoroughly executed. Whenever that happens Saab will be successful.

With GM selling it's stake, the Saab 9-6X has been cancelled.

Damn that was quick. :o

[cavalier36]

Damn that was quick. :o

yeah its true.. the 9-6 has been cancelled.. could a Saab Theta be far behind??

[Croc]

Maybe. I think Lambda might actually get it though since GM has several Thetas on the table and thus far we only know of three Lambdas. Might want to maximize the platform to get it profitable quickly. Let's see what we have here: Theta: Chevrolet Equinox Pontiac Torrent Saturn VUE GMC ??? Lambda: Chevrolet (TB?) Buick Centieme GMC Acadia It would make sense for more Lambda variants to follow. BTW What is Chevrolet going to do for a minivan? It needs a Lambda minivan...

[Cadillacfan]

Isn't there a rumor going around that it would go on the Epsilon II platform and be similar to the Caddy BRX sport ute?

[turbo200]

yes, there have been several mentions of a BRX and Saab sport wagon on EP II; Chevy and Saturn are getting minivan version of Lambda

[91z4me]

Croc you missed the Saturn crossover.

[corvette_dude729]

Come on people, it's just a shortened B9 Tribeca! (With black handles, making it look more "Saab-like")
