Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 2005Look like a new SAAB SUV is on its way
Saab has given the go ahead to its own version of Subaru’s B9 Tribeca. (9-6X) http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=215454 > http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=215454 So they figured out how to get that engine in the Tribeca? They better not use the same commercial "blowing in the wind" as Subaru does.

That looks ugly. The front end looks a bit like someone screwed an Alfa grille on upside down.

If you don't already have it get a copy of Infanview ( free media viewer ) and rotate the image. It looks better upside down.

Well, wait a sec...there are two picturess there, both of very different looking vehicles. Which one is of the actual 9-6x? I've seen the picture over to the right a number of times prior (i had hoped they'd alter the design before production time, but apparently not). However regardless, both are butt ugly. - tex > > Christ !

The Saab 9-6x has yet to be depicted anywhere as far as I have seen. If you see any photos of the 9-6x, please let me know. SaabGuy >> Christ !

Erm, neither one is really the "belle of the ball" :) > I've seen the picture over to the right a number of times prior (i had hoped > they'd alter the design before production time, but apparently not). > However regardless, both are butt ugly.

Which one is of the actual 9-6x? I rather assumed it was the one right next to the text saying " Saab 9-6X gets the green light " > I've seen the picture over to the right a number of times prior (i had hoped > they'd alter the design before production time, but apparently not). > However regardless, both are butt ugly. The 9-6x doubly so. Considering it's based on a Subaru, that's hardly surprising. For the life of me I cannot understand how Subaru manage to make an entire range of vehicles so visually unattractive. Graham > I rather assumed it was the one right next to the text saying " Saab 9-6X > gets > the green light " I did as well, however, i think it might simply be mislabelled. The one on the left must be the actual subaru version and the one on the right, clearly the saab version. Though the accompanying text is misleading at best. > The 9-6x doubly so. Why would they ditch the sleek, sexy and now signature wraparound head lamps? I can't believe the 9-6x will go to production like that. It has to be a mistake. > Considering it's based on a Subaru, that's hardly > surprising.

Agreed. - tex > > I rather assumed it was the one right next to the text saying " Saab 9-6X > > gets [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > - tex Tex, The one on the RIGHT is NOT the 9-6x, it is the 9-3x There have been no public photos of the 9-6x as of yet. That's what is going on on that page.

They shoulda, woulda, coulda provided information pertaining to the photos specifically indicating that neither were the 9-6x. I guess mathmatical deduction came into place here. - R > The front end looks a bit like someone screwed an Alfa grille on upside > down. That is effectively going to be the front end ofr al new Subarus. Seen some recent photos of the enxt Impreza with a very similar front end.
