NORCROSS, Ga. — Saab is to reveal a bold, high-performance concept car at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show that will showcase the future direction of Saab design philosophy.
The multi-dynamic Saab 9X challenges traditional design orthodoxy by incorporating, for the first time within one car, key features usually associated with four different types of vehicles — a coupe, a roadster, a wagon and, even, a pick-up!
The first photographs released this week show how the clean lines of the 9X define a compact and sporty shape, with strong Saab styling cues dramatically evolved. The car's dimensions and other features are hidden in the photographs, but full details will be revealed at its September unveiling on the Saab stand.
"I regard this car as a statement of intent," comments Saab Automobile's CEO Peter Augustsson. "It is physical proof that Saab is embarked on an exciting journey."
The car launches a major product offensive from the Swedish manufacturer, with at least one new product or concept to be announced every year for the next six years.
