Default ANOTHER Saab concept vehicle: The 93x, just got this info...

<center><img src="http://www.saab9-3x.com/home/GLOBAL/en/saab93x/image/wallpapers/wallpaper_4_800x600.jpeg"></center><p>Even uglier than other atrocity they just released, IMO -

The email text:

Another year. Another Saab concept car!

Our second concept vehicle in just four months, the Saab 9-3X flies in the face of
conventional thinking. Combining the sporty styling of a coupe with versatile features, this
all-terrain concept car demonstrates that all-wheel drive vehicles with off-road capabilities
can retain a strong, athletic on-road appeal.

The 9-3X makes its world debut this week at the North American International Auto Show in
Detroit. If you can't be at the show make sure you check out the 9-3X microsite. Its almost
as good as being there.

Happy New Year,
Saab Cars<ul><li><a href="http://www.saab9-3x.com/home/GLOBAL/en/saab93x/93x.html?os=win">The Saab 93x</a></li></ul>

Default The Viggen has so much Torque and that Turbo spools up so quickly. The sad part is that the...

suspension is setup all wrong, just too bouncy. Bad part is that its front wheel drive and the Tranny is really crappy. But hey a Turbo car that can smoke tires in third gear ain't too shabby.

Default Although the designs are "different" I am glad Saab is getting off their but...

marketing wize and starting to promote themselves and their future. They have had great tech breakthroughs before, now they just need to package them for the masses !! Whoever is running their PR is doing a good job... its a good site and I have seen a lot of them lately. No matter what the design is... it HAS to have good PR to survive (unfortunately !).

Default Regardless of the photos, looked good in person...

.. the TT still looks good at shows. Saw 4 in a Detroit day .. the first was on it's jack for 2 hours, with the owner climbing in and out. (I assume it was the owner )
