I was kinda looking forward to a Suby-based version, assuming that we could get a Saab engine. But this could be done right, too.
My thoughts:
The name 9-5X should be reserved for an AWD 9-5. If they're giving this the 9-5X name, does that mean that the successor to the 9-5 will be called something different?
The picture on C&D is wrong. The Equinox and Vue have a solid C pillar, much like the 9-5 and 9-2X. Hopefully the styling of the 9-5X can fit into the look created by the 9-5 and 9-2X.
The Vue uses an Ecotec 4. This means that the Ecotec 4 from the 9-3SS should fit in, which means that the new V6 from the 9-3SC should also fit. Hopefully these will be the engine choices they offer, both turbocharged. We don't want no stinkin' 3400!
Back to the name...why not call it a 9-4X?
