Well, we weren't trying to pick a fight but you must understand that Scott has heard the SAME basic argument for the last 14 years every damn time that Saab makes changes. And the thing is, if you think about it, a lot of these changes were GOOD!
If you haven't figured it out by now, the 9-X and the 9-3X are CONCEPT cars... Even if they were given the green light today, they would not see the road for several years and they certainly wouldn't look much like they do now. The 9-3X is closer to a real car, but I'll bet there is plenty there that isn't even feasible for production... plus, they're bound to make some changes with some of the ummm "feedback" that they've been given.
The purpose of any concept car is to spark some creative juices in the design department... Most of these cars that you see at auto shows are so far from reality it's not even funny. Saab hasn't had a concept car since 1986 (with the EV-1), and before that with "URSAAB" way back in the early 50's! I think it's long overdue don't you?
My original point stills stands... If you don't like it, don't buy it. Many others will.
