If it's for real, and it sure looks like it, this is blasphemy. Let me quote The Saab Brand, a book published by Saab, when it was still Saab, not so long ago: «Saab will push the envelope of design but never lose touch with its past. Selected design cues will be evolved over time and serve as a source of inspiration. These include our wraparound windscreen, wedge-shaped stance, three-hole grill and cockpit-inspired interior....
A good example of an evolved Saab design cue is the grille on the Saab 9X Concept Car. The classic three-hole design is UNMISTAKABLE, yet the shape is progressive, with plenty of attitude».
I rest my case your Honor.
