Well, I suppose I better get the ball rolling, since I am only a few miles from Frankfurt (relatively speaking, when compared to the USA!!!)and have had the pleasure of seeing the 9X info a few minutes ago.
The side view is not all to my taste. I would have prefered some bigger windows at the back. The front lights should also be a bit bigger.
Engine is supposed to be the V6 3.0. I hope they will change that to the VCC at some stage.
Performance etc. takes it well into Audi TT80, BMW 340 and Porsche 911 range. Mind you, my slightly modified NG900 2.3 has made mince meat of several TT80 drivers.
I am a bit surprised that they do not mention reversing alarms, 4 wheel drive, satellite navigation system, inbuilt 3G mobile phone, onboard laptop etc. Would be good selling points for the tavelling salesman, or sports person who wants to work away from home, to name but a few. And if they chuck in the coolbax like on the 9-5, plus perhaps a micro-wave, camping would never be the same again!
For the rest, only a test drive would tell. I have e-mailed SAAB his morning to put my name down for such a test drive if they do need the honest opinion of real SAAB drivers!!! OK, my request is more tongue in cheek, but SAAB knows me by now and have been doing the same to me as well! See later posting for the reason why I say that...
