ZL-1

Delta2 quite likely has much better packaging. SAAB could capitalize on that and make the 9-3 some 8 inches smaller than the 9-5 while offering good interior room. I just hope the architecture is good enough... I can't get over the rumour I read that SAAB rejected both the current Corsa platform and Gamma for the 9-1 on the grounds that it is not good enough...

That MSN Messenger is pretty much the 21st century telephone and that someone going offline without replying to a simple question feels like someone hanging up the phone on you: total lack of manners...

With trucks! :rotflmao:

That almost being hit by an army truck that spins out of control on the motorway is a scary experience

Pics have been taken and the cockpit is driver oriented. Just don't expect fancy design like the LaCrosse's interior: expect a simple design.

IDK If I was SAAB I'd be making sure the 9-5 and 9-4X are flawless, while trying to make sure GM selects a proper new owner for the company. Then it's all about the new 9-3: if GM's Delta2 is used, I wouldn't do a 9-1. Instead I'd offer a full 9-3 range: 9-3 sedan, wagon, and 3-door and 5-door hatches. EDIT - From what I remember reading at Saabsunited, it seems potential investors who went to Trollhättan were shown something other than the NG 9-5 and the 9-4X. Don't know if it was a design proposal for the NG 9-3 but it'd make sense if it was...

EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what every SAAB enthusiast website and a few mags here have said: Frankfurt 2009. On another note, 9-4X mules were apotted again (and again in Belgium IIRC).

yes

Could be. At least it would make sense from a 'niche product = higher MSRP' perspective.

Nick for President! @ Nick - Clever! I never thought of checking the file names themselves.

music 'Crash Test Dummies' was the name of a band, IIRC

Black Maserati Quattroporte (driven by an amazing looking blonde).

It seems New GM starts off really well in one area they HAVE to excel: communication with the car buying public. I mean... even Metallica has webmasters that announce site maintenance... why can't a multi-billion dollar company do the same?
