(sic) May be a completely new platform...but not unique to Saab. There is no way Saab/GM can afford that. So while it might not be based on the Mailbu, it will certanly be shared with other low rent GM products. Sorry if you love Saab Chris, I used to as well, but GM is killing it.

As in 9-2x, 9-7x, 9x concept and 9-3x concept. The 400hp is therefore expected to be put to ground via AWD, likely sourced from Haldex, who did the AWD setup for the 9-3x. Leopold,

In other posts, on a few different sites, the car will NOT be based on a Malibu, it will be on a COMPLETELY NEW PLATFORM, and last time i checked the Malibu isn't a completely new platfrom. So get more info before you comment. On a side note: I can't wait to see what this car looks like, because it is a very important car for SAAB, lets hope they nail it. Dave-o…read before you speak.

With anything over 250HP front wheel drive seems to be a waste, since the weight transfer shifts to the rear of the vehicle under hard acceleration, thereby reducing the traction of the drive wheels. -he who stacks pork Too bad it will probably be front wheel drive… so expect lots of wheelspin unless a power-robbing traction control system is employed (which will hinder acceleration).
