Its the utterly pointless (for Saab, anyway) 9-7X testing with some improvements. The back of the vehicle essentially looks like a Chevy Trailblazer. That gives it away. This isn’t a 9-4X.

Do you really jump fromt he headline to the pictures and then start banging out some crappy response? There is nothing here to see, excecpt evidence that GM is spending money on Saab. It also sounds encouraging that it's not a rebadge, and was engineered and designed outside of Detroit. We need to get some posters on here that know how to read.

Likewise I'm not going to be building any hopes up on any spyshots or concepts from saab in the next few years either. Also as has been said above already, Saab are way too late to the crossover party. People are already clearing up and sweeping up the empty beer cans. GM have really messed with a marque which used to be able to hold it's head up. Way to go, GM! Schmuks.

The new lines are pretty clean. It looks more modern than other Saabs. The back is horrible tho. Looks like an old chevy blazer. I normally hate all Saabs but actually this one isnt that bad.

Mules can be as simple as a tin box on wheels, or in this case, a Trailblazer body set on a future platform with 4 wheel independant suspension destine for another vehicle. Thus the reason it doesn't fit, and isn't pretty. It's zero indecator of the final product in terms of appearance. It’s not meant to be pretty or appealing, it’s meant to test components.

Maybe a little more chrome. Something's wrong with wheels in pics #2 and #4. Look at the front tire's wheelwell gap. Are you sure this isn't a 9-7 testing a suspension?
