Pasted from Autoexpress:

Is this the car that will have Audi TT owners checking up on part-exchange values? Saab is hoping to boost its global sales with a totally new range of models that's set to include a top secret coupé.
Known as 'Shooting Brake' within the company, the sporty Swede is being readied in concept form for a debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. It's been penned by recently appointed executive director of design Michael Mauer, and our exclusive picture gives a hint of what's to come.

Evolving Saab's visual themes into a more aggressive package, the stylish coupé will be the firm's first concept since the EV-1 in 1985 and its first two-seater sports car since the Sonett III was axed in 1974. Power is likely to come from a 2.0-litre turbo lifted from its Vauxhall Astra rival. The coupé will be based on the new 9-3 which is due to go on sale next year, available as a three and five-door hard-top and convertible. An estate and all-wheel-drive version will also feature in the line-up for the first time.

For the 9-5, a common-rail diesel version using Isuzu's 3.5-litre V6 is confirmed, and may be available in time for the European launch of the facelifted car at the end of this year. The all-new 2004 version will see the introduction of the GM Epsilon II platform, and the first large-scale use of the Saab Combustion Control engine.

And there are plans to build a Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) to challenge BMW's X5 soft-roader. There's also talk of producing a larger model to do battle with the forthcoming X7.

 

yick. bad lines, IMO.

 

not quite the sculpted look, and panels sure look tt-ish but they went straight lines/raked shield and the grill is Saab. These guys make jet fighters and their cars are beautifully engineered. They may be doing a complete line like this as Audi is with the new A4 lineup and it will be tough to tell them all apart short of the badges.

 

Kinda reminds me of the new Toyota Celicas.

 

Cross between a TT and an Isuzu Axiom.

 

I hate it. Always hated Saab cars. )

 

for a passenger car in the mid-80's I found it one of the best riding, most practical (interior space and features), and most tractable in snow and ice of any car including 4 wheel drive cars at the time. Wiring was tied and orderly. Specific mud flaps for each car with removeable rivets in wheel wells for installation. Heated seats. Complete accessory line including rubber rear cargo and floor matts. Rock protection strips could be applied to front 1-2" of hood. Thule racks for skiing/windsurfing. Retractable trailer hitch to tow motorcyle to the track. All the accessories many of us have to buy aftermarket were considered and available. A sports sedan/coupe ('85 900S/green) that I thought and still think was a great car.

 

Having never ridden in one, I can't commment. But having to look at them always made me ill

 

I know what you mean, I saw so many I got accustomed to them in the northeast.
