It will of course be the audi of GM Europe (i.e., above opel/vauxhall/saturn), but it shouldn't be an Audi clone. Saabs have to capitalize on quirkyness IMO.

Indiferent. When it comes to pizza, I'm a freaking rubish bin: everything goes!

Since she doesn't want a SRX nor an Enclave, I'd say go for the Q7.

Never owned a GM car. I'm a GM fan, especially of Cadillacs and Corvettes, but they're waaay out of reach financially... I'd see myself driving one of those '09 Vectras or an NG Saab if and when I become a responsible family man... Until then I'll stick to the fun-to-drive non-GM MINI EDIT - I learned to drive in an Opel Corsa: does that count?

Too bad we've seen true Blue Devil mules... This thread would be the perfect place for the ever funny 'this is a Blue Devil mule' joke

Here's your 1.9 TDI after 4800 Euro in engine repairs!Seriously, Audi does have a pretty neat lineup based around FWD/AWD models, so Saab can be perfectly viable following that same concept. I do agree, though, that Saab's quirkyness should be preserved in at least one variation of its several models.

Isn't the 9-5 the 2nd EpsilonII car to be released, right after the Vectra/Insignia/Aura/whatever?

2010 Pontiac G-Spot?

I believe that it was integrating Saab in GM Europe that has allowed it to survive. Saab can share GM's engineering and production facilites and that is critical in lowering it's break-even. As long as Saab is allowed to have it's own unique design identity (and it has to be unique to Saab, they'll survive even at lower volumes. For example, the current 9-3 range should have a liftback coupe: something that would be practical (Swedish design attribute), and distincitive in a time where all the talk is about how the market is becoming increasing fragmented in terms of body-styles and concepts with sedans, liftbacks, SUVs, CUVs, minivans, and so on, all sharing platforms.

From the article: Saab sold 133,167 cars worldwide last year "Therefore, we have much reduced our volume ambitions, to 160,000 to 170,000." (...)aimed to sell 250,000 units per year Those are all worldwide sales, since Saab is sold globally. I don't know what is the weight of the US market in Saab sales.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Swedish carmaker Saab reduced its annual sales targets as the General Motors (NYSE:GM - News) unit tries to reach break-even, the head of GM Europe said in an advance abstract of a report in Automotive News Europe on Saturday.
