2010 Saab 9-4x Crossover Interior Snapped Undisguised

The Swedish edition of Automotorundsport magazine has published a photo of the forthcoming Saab 9-4x's interior that was scooped virtually without any camouflage. Compared to the 9-4x concept that was previewed at the 2008 Detroit Show, the production model's dashboard has remained relatively unchanged. Saab's long-awaited compact crossover -slash- SUV that shares its platform with the new 2010 Cadillac SRX is due to be revealed later this year with sales set to begin in early 2010.

New Saab 9-5 Griffin 260HP Heads to Detroit Auto Show

Unlike wine, cars don't get better as they age, and at 11 years old, the current Saab 9-5 is long overdue for replacement. Still, Saab tries to make the best of it by constantly introducing new editions of its mid-size executive model in a wary attempt to draw buyers into its showrooms. At the Detroit auto show next month, the Swedes will perform the debut of the 9-5 Griffin Edition powered by the firm's 2.3-liter, 260HP four-cylinder engine that can be matched to five-speed manual or automatic transmissions without extra charge.

Available in both sedan and station-wagon forms, the 9-5 Griffin Edition is distinguished on the outside by the matte chrome front grill and frames around the Xenon headlamps. The Sedan has a rear spoiler on the trunk lid, while the SportCombi can be recognized by its roof spoiler and roof rails in matte chrome finish. A set of five-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels and Griffin badges on the front fenders complete the look.

On the inside, the 9-5 Griffin comes equipped with high-gloss interior trim, floor mats with grey piping, as well as the use of accent color stitching on the steering wheel, shift lever and handbrake. Additional standard equipment includes a rear parking assist system, plus heated outside mirrors that are also foldable and auto-dimming.

Expected to start arriving in Saab dealer showrooms in January 2009, the Swedes have priced the 9-5 Griffin from $42,775 for the Sedan and $ 44,045 for the SportCombi. We're no marketing gurus, but 40+ grand for a outdated car that was designed in the mid-to-late 90s doesn't exactly sound like a deal.

Saab 9-3X Crossover Scooped Without a Trace of Camo

A new round of spy-shots depicting the forthcoming Saab 9-3X Crossover have made their way into the web thanks to the Saab-loving folks over at TrollhattanSaab. Allegedly captured during a photoshoot, the camouflage-free 9-3X is virtually production ready. And why shouldn't it be as the new Saab model is essentially a "soft-road" version of the 9-3 SportCombi with standard XWD four-wheel-drive system plus raised ground clearance, extra under-body protection, wraparound body cladding, larger bumpers and other SUV-like styling details.

The new 9-3X was supposed to be revealed at the Paris Auto Show this past October, something that evidently never happened. Sources now indicate that the mild crossover will make its debut in early 2009 with sales following shortly after.
