Bruce, what are you suggesting, "The Swedish Job"? “But it might have a weight limit–no gold bricks.”

No lid. Nice--one can reach all corners from 3 sides! But it might have a weight limit--no gold bricks. The video of Adams also mentions that it has a small-items section below it.

Not much higher than a laptop case. I guess I will have to buy flat-pack groceries from now on. The boot looks tiny in that second video. Not much higher than a laptop case.

I'm just still curious about the opening system for the roof. Mystery not revealed. Today it popped up at the global site. But then the 9-3 Convertible Air Edition caught my attention. So it is true, all we get are some facelifts & alloys. In this case convertible buyers can order the rest of the set Turbo-X-alloys that were produced to much, while customers hesitated to buy the Turbo-X. I like those alloys, but this seems to be a big marketing disaster. Come on saab, the 9X Air wasn't properly announced and the 9-3 Convertible Air Edition is already there. Maybe in Chile they have bad timing, which I can forgive, but this is complete nonsense. Saab, please get this 9-4X & 9X B-H ready for production instead of playing games on the net. http://www.saab.com/global/en/start#/world/news-and-events/news-archive/saab-9-3-conv-air/welcome/carrousel:all/ Nice concept.

Anyway: Great design! The car of my dreams #2 (right after AeroX ;-)).

First, it states the transmission is a 6-speed sequential with automatic clutch. If true, that's something new. Any truth to that? And the dimensions for the 9-X are L4427 and W1826 mm. The current 9-3 (Sedan) is L4646 and W 1753. So the 9-X is noticeably shorter (181 mm or about 7 inches), but a bit wider (73 mm or almost 3 inches). The handling should be phenomenal, and interior room (at least in the front) perceptably larger. Are we looking at the new, smaller 9-3? . . . and not a 9-1 (that, in turn, could inexpensively be a tweaked Astra, the way the Subie was adapted?--nearly instant hatch at the price point where it is likely most likely to sell while the rest of the line moves further up-market, even above Opel/Saturn, where profit margins are more secure and residual and resale values can be strengthened). I'm impressed. A couple of interesting points in the SAABhuy story. First, it states the transmission is a 6-speed sequential with automatic clutch. If true, that’s something new. Any truth to that?
