Looks like a Volvo XC90

Come on, they should keep their dignity as the one company who hasn't caved in and made an SUV.

acpower · 08-13-2003, 12:18 AM

the volvo one looks way better

tfpfreak · 08-13-2003, 09:16 AM

whats up with the tires on this POS

What's up with all these morons that buy SUVs? Most SUVs are driven by soccer moms to the hair salon or grocery store. In this case, what can an SUV do that a Passat Wagon 4-Motion or Subaru Legacy Wagon can't?

The car looks "ok" in this picture

Stare At The Sun · 08-15-2003, 09:23 PM

Yes ick, but damn, i bet it is really really safe.

HeAtHeN · 08-15-2003, 09:30 PM

Looks craptacular. Looks like the Chrysler Pacifica

ducati999 · 08-16-2003, 01:42 AM

its not aztek horrible at least

zubrei · 08-16-2003, 03:52 AM

I recently drove a Saab 93 which was lovely, fairly quick but not lightning as I only had the 150 bhp version. There is a 210 BHP version which Is the one I'd buy. Anyway it was a lovely car to drive, very comfortable no road noise, and cruised quite happily at 90-100 mph.

But that car looks cack.

3x0 · 08-17-2003, 06:45 AM

are these photos at the beggining some VT's ? =o

front looks like ass, rear looks like volvo

i don't like it at all

bundy · 08-17-2003, 07:01 AM

is there a european car maker that isn´t making SUV´s, or cross over vehicles??
they really are the strong market aren´t they?

3zos · 08-17-2003, 03:56 PM

keep in mind, saab is no longer european strictly speaking. the bean counters in GM now run saab, theres no telling where the new model concepts will go. a pretty damn cool concept recently was the 9 X, i hope thats not what this 98 is supposed to be.

with regards to the 93 vector (the 210bhp version, here in the US), its a damn snappy car, can beat most mid-range sports cars off the line (turbo really boosts the powerband to lower rpm's). cruises well at just about any speed, and weve gotten it to 130

personally im hoping to get my hands on a 98 9000 cse, aero engine, the last year the 9000 was made. one of their greatest cars imo.

pagliachi2003 · 08-17-2003, 04:00 PM

I'm not really impressed with it. Saab should stick to slightly quirky cars.

3zos · 08-17-2003, 04:05 PM

9X image gallery

thatd be a few pictures to peruse, search google if more interested.

Shpoop · 08-17-2003, 05:33 PM

i think it looks decent, better than volvo one.

but i agree, saab should hold out on the suv market, just out of pride. plus i think that its on its way out

forumguy · 08-17-2003, 07:52 PM

i sure hope that this quirky car company (saab) doesn't go so mainstream with an suv. it just doesn't seem right.

Doesn't seem right??? Yes, you're right.
But what does seem right in today's automotive world? How about Porsche's Cayenne? It's a disgrace... But in order to increase their market share they had to build it. Because we're living in a world of SUVs... Sadly...

Scorps · 08-19-2003, 10:09 AM

I hope they make this even know it was a conpect car back in 1999.

forumguy · 08-19-2003, 04:49 PM

dunno about this one but does anybody have any experience with the new 9-3? i've heard mixed reviews. thanks for your input.
