I think it’s awesome! Does it come in a dark Metallic Red? If so, I’ll take one!

If it had real doors and a back seat, I’d cut a check for this today.

Being born in Trollhattan where we make the SAAB cars and the Jet Engines for SAAB JAS Gripen along with Ariane rocketengines I am real proud to see this concept car.

It looks like finally SAAB can live up to its slogan “Built from Jets”!

Looking good folks keep up the good work! Lets pump up those turbos and blow the doors off the competition. I sure hope the folks at GM in Detroit will be “Turbolovers” from now on.

There is a substitute for cubic inches : )

Wow
(first impression)
but more something for a teenage-boy-room-poster
Well, nice seventies-nova-feature to get into the car.
Anyway, saab should get the 9-3X and 9X concepts into production instead of these V8 “trailblaizers-X” and “saabvettes”

For the first time in my entire life I’m actually interested in a Saab. No offense to anyone but all previous Saab’s look like crap too bubbly to short of a wheel base the front on most Saab looks like it was put together using a Lego set. Finally this Saab points Saab in a new direction. The cock pit design is what everyone dreams of as a kid. I would definately buy this car if it ever came into production. The rear end could use a bit of work from other photo’s I’ve seen but other then that they’ve taken 30 steps in the right direction.

Holy cow…if this one goes to production i realy must have one…
If Saabs own engeneers will construct the powersours on that beast
And its well build like the early 202 2.0 (engien bad spelled)
also an ide is to have all consols made in magnesium aloy (weight redusing)
and also the rims
And Pleae no Gm junk under the hood on a beuty like that

the first image (with the black background) left me disgusted, because it looks like a corvette with a new version of a saab grill.

but after seeing the images (with the white background), i’m excited about the concept. the lines are _much_ better, and much more cohesive than in the first pic. (i’m a “hater” no more.)

i must see actual photos of this car to be sure, but i think it’ll turn a lot of heads, garner an award, or two, and make great strides towards putting saab back on the “map.”

i see its lineage, as well as a _natural_ progression, the more i look at it.

i just noticed how the rear lighting area is like the 9-x’s in terms of being one long “bar,” except the aero’s is thinner and non-retangular. like the 9-x, its design is nicely executed with the car’s other features.

gm would be foolish for not making this car. i’d like to put one in my garage every night.

i loved the 9-x. i’m glad the aero-x certainly isn’t a “letdown.”

Tthe main idea of a concept is to get people interested and talking about a brand, and every so often a styling cue will make it down to a mainstream model a few years later… for that criteria, it’s working perfectly a week before it’s official launch…..
Lets not forget.. this is purely a concept vehicle.

Here at the Saab Owners Club, we prefer original to ostentatious; we prefer beige to bling.

Beryl says that the youths think it is a great design, but we think they hang around too many street corners and are off the rails.

It’s good to see that Saab has returned to their hatchback format, but we feel that this is a backward step from the brown 99 Combi coupe that we own. How on earth would we fit our tartan picnic rug and our Werthers Originals through that hatch? And where are the industrial size impact absorbing rubber bumpers?

We would really like a new Saab but this one sadly lacks adequate anchorage for a Brink Swan-Neck with twin electrics. We think it is likely to be too-small to tow our two-tonne fibreglass house.

We’ll see what Kev and Bev think about this ruffian of a design when we meet them for a damp weekend in Scunthorpe.
