Car Forum / Saab Cars / April 2006Saab Aero-X caught filling up gas outside of Stockholm
All, I just picked up on this! You got to take a look at these and save them, and post them to your website. http://bil.feber.se/2006/03/en_saab_aero_x_.html http://www.vettochetikett.info/SAAB_AERO_X/index.htm Wow! A) Who is driving it? B) Why are they on a normal road with other cars? SG Well, what 'cha gonna do with the car once the autoshow season is dead? Take it to work! S= >I just picked up on this!

I wonder if we're ever likely to see that car in Australia? Probably not, but it would be impressive and certainly make a bold statement about one possible direction that Saab could take with future vehicle designs. Craig.

Uhmmm yes, (sorry making up the rest) Lotus which is owned by a Korean company which is part owned by GM or something like that. Not dissimilar practice to the Subaru which became a SAAB.

Proton are sole owners of lotus now. Where there used to be Lotus badges over everything because of consultancy work, Proton will only allow it on their own cars and Lotus cars.

So I've re-sized the pictures (which has reduced the filesize by about 90 percent!) and made them available at: http://www.classicsaab.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1577 Craig.

I will have them up tonight or tommorow once I have coded the pages. I did resize them to fit on the server. The whole shebang is bigger than the allocated space I have. jeremy There have been an event for journalists to drive and test the car at the former Swedish airforcebase in Ängelholm, Scania some days ago and I´m sure that the pictures are from a gasstation in Ängelholm. http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/bil/story/0,2789,798945,00.html (Swedish newspaper story) There has also been a show at the Saab Museum in Trollhättan. /B > All, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > SG http://www.aftonbladet.se/atv/player.html?catID=10&clipID=7226 Video from the testdrive at Ängelholm Airforcebase.

But seriously though, the panorama view is really very nice, but not very practical if you want to escape the car in a hurry. And what about ticket machines when you enter/leave a car park? Sometimes you also need to open a window to get some fresh air in case something slipped out... It has obviously been a headache to design a door mechanism which is consistent with the panorama window, maybe there is a different solution. > > >I wouldn't have it, the wheels are difficult to clean... > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > It has obviously been a headache to design a door mechanism which is > consistent with the panorama window, maybe there is a different solution. Having thought a couple of minutes on how to get in and out of a car with panorama window, here is my solution. I assume that it's a sporty type with only two seats. Then it could have a panorama window extending about half way into the usual front windows. Then place the side door behind that. The seats could then slide easily on special strong rails for reaching the door position. Obviously, it should be an extra mechanism different from the normal seat adjustment, such that the seat would automatically lock and unlock into the normally adjusted position. |
