Dutch Top Gear offer their version of the 9-1
Aaaah. All the CGIs are coming out of the woodwork now.
Wim has emailed me to let me know that the Dutch version of Top Gear have published their own story on the Saab compact….and yes it’s got an image included.
I’ve snipped a little of it here, but click through for the full image.
My 0.02c - I’m liking the rear of the car, but the front is just a little too Mauer-retro for me to believe that it’ll happen.



That one’s been round a while: http://www.gminsidenews.com/naias/revitalization/saabria/9-1.shtml. I hope the real thing is a lot prettier!
yup second what Markac’s said, it’s been around for a while.. i remember seeing it before.
And I hope it looks better than that too
Sorry I typed a dot after the URL, it should be: http://www.gminsidenews.com/naias/revitalization/saabria/9-1.shtml
Funny to look at the (dull) reality of the 9-4x against the more innovative cgi’s on that site!
It’s pretty interesting to look at all the concepts. Thankfully the Saabaru 9-6x is no more!
Looking not unlike this cgi in topspeed.com
I actually like this quite a bit. I think if it were going to go next to an A3, this would be the winner.
Mark_belfast, hit the nail on the head there!
I’m not a fan of the headlight treatment or the humps over the wheel openings.
If the production version comes out to look more like the 9-3 sedan & sportcombi front end (on GMI’s RIA) Id be more inclined to endorse it.
They did a great job with the CGI’s though.

I like it, but it would look better with a different front fascia.
