Fortunately it doesn't mention the ill-fated Saabaru (aka the 9-2, aka 'wasaabi') which has never been sold here in Australia. I wonder if we'll see the 9-7X here - we already have 9-3 and 9-5 models which are pretty much smack bang in the middle of what GM would call 'standard product' when looking at the Saab brand.
