2010 Saab 9-4X spy photos
June 27, 2008 by Alborz Fallah
If you’re into the spy shot scene you may have noticed some earlier pictures of this car scattered on the web, but our European photographers have just gotten up close and were able to verify – 100% – the true identity of this masked prototype.
We first saw this bodystyle at the Detroit Auto Show, being touted at as the 9-4X BioPower Concept, but Saab is obviously serious about bringing this to the marketplace in a timely fashion.
Codenamed GMT168, the Saab 9-4X will arrive in time for the 2010 model year. Sharing the platform with the upcoming Cadillac BRX, the Theta-Epsilon based Saab will be built in at the Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.
Unlike the U.S. based 9-7X, this will be sold globally. Styling – as you can easily see – will be very close to that of the concept, and powerplants will include a range of gasoline, as well as a new 250-horsepower diesel.
The 9-4X will also offer Saab’s XWD all-wheel-drive system.

Typical Saab. 10 years late to a market segment just as it enters worldwide collapse.
If you have to call any auto brand around the world as dying and a orphan, this one would be on pole…Pity
I think GM cannot be that far from selling it off, not just Hummer, SAAB too, just fits nowhere and sells so little does not fit in the GM Empire
I would like a Super Swede Corp., with Volvo and SAAB joining together and forming a great and new breed of advanced Swedish Engineering to the front again
Cheers

The reason the Swedish breed is owned by Ford and GM is because they were either too far ahead or too ugly or both.
Now that the big 2 have put their dna into them, they are both struggling. They are like 39 year old kids still living at home – they are humans, but not full adults.
Make them leave their current homes and they will collapse into automotive history.
Looking at it in a dimension sense it would seem that it will be well proportioned.
Also fella’s, look at the interior & then look at the new Opel/Vauxhall (& hopefully Holden) Insignia interior. Same steering wheel & indicator stalks, similar switch gear & similar design door cards. Could this also be on the cards for Opel/Vauxhall & in the shortish term posibly Holden????
Volvo and Saabs to the swedes are like Ford and Holden to Aussies. Unfortunately, this analogy is only true when Ford was selling the Probe and Holden the Piazza.
Wierd cars that were advanced but inspired the likes of University professors and ecologists.
Really stupid idea to build this in Mexico
for a premium brand….MAKE IT IN SWEEDEN
There’s no point covering the SUV…
It’s a Saab…
No One Gives A S**t…
There just making themselves go into further debt
It was a great history, of aircraft builders, honest nuts. Now it owes itself to something different. No more new saab for me if anyone can call it something other than what I’m supposed to think it is..
is that a bird, no it’s a pjane..
