When I posted about a rather lame blue version of the Saab 9-X Air that appeared on GM’s FYI blog earlier today, I asked if anyone had the skills and the time to do some better photoshop work on the car. The answer just came in, and I’ll have some champagne, please!!
Tiago has answered the call, yet again!!
Here are Tiago’s photoshopped 9-X Air pictures.
Firstly, the Saab 9-X Air in black:
…..and now in a medium blue:
My personal favourite, champagne:
And finally, for those considering a mid-life crisis, a racy red:
——
My thanks once again to Tiago for whipping these up so quickly.
If I get any more, I’ll add them to the collection.
——
With thanks to Johan, we also now have a Saab 9-X Air in Bronze:
——
Many thanks to Bjarte, in Norway, for putting these together. All are meant to replicate current Saab colors (within the limitations of computer images, of course)
Once again, in Black:
In Fusion Blue:
The new Glass Grey:
Very classy in Ice Blue:
Jet black:
Laser Red (otherwise known as “The Hotness”)
Nocturne Blue:
And finally, the surprisingly lookable Pepper Green:
——
With thanks to Matt, we can now envisage a colored roof, albeit a somewhat unorthodox red.
——
UPDATE!!
More from Bjarte:
His own take on Electric Blue:
Reminiscent of the Monte Carlo yellow, though Bjarte’s called it Lynx Yellow:
“Persian Indigo”

I think the vehicle needs some of the brighter dare I say more garish colours which are currently fashionable on modern small cars. Look at the colour range Ford is offering for the new Fiesta, Seat for the Ibiza or Opel for the Corsa.
N.B. We are currently looking around to replace the wifes 5 year old Ibiza!

I think I like the bronze most of all but almost anyone of Bjartes would do it for me.

Ice Blue for me, please.

Impressive colour range. Next to white & black, ice blue looks nice, but i wonder what would be the impression of some bright orange and yellow mellow …

Red or black, the black one is a little better looking, but I like to be unique so I would proboably pick the red one, if I could afford it

Ice Blue or the Bronze for me. The black looks great but…. I like my Saab’s spotless, so black required too much work and I love to detail my Saab. Black with the red top looks good but too Audi for me.

black is the show stopper.

For me, the bronze, definitely and If a color similar to that one would exist, I would buy it in an instant.
