There will be an AWD 9-3 SS 5-door. It will look similar to the 9-3X concept car, but with 4 doors on the sides and a longer rear. Per Anthony Lo, the "chopped tail" proportions look wrong when there's 4 doors. Whether it will be called a 9-3X is open to question ... everyone in the world is calling it thus, but the designers would like to reserve "X" for the concept cars.
The "Aero" name is being reserved in the USA for something with substantially more performance than the "Arc" and "Vector". Again, in NINES there was discussion of the new "Global 6", with direct fuel injection and turbocharging in its smaller (2.8 L to 3.2 L) displacements. (can you say 300 hp, 33 mpg highway?) The Global 6, in 3.6L n/a form, will first be used on the 2004 Cadillac SRX and CTS, and Buick Rendesvous Ultra (the first "Saab SUV" that wasn't).
