the website looks nice.
#206 of 346 Anybody note "Fully Independent Supension" by buddhabman Sep 14, 2004 (2:30 pm)
It was noted that the new 9-7X website listed a prominent feature - "Fully Independent Suspension".   This means they made some major mods to the TB frame to add the independent suspension. I have read that front and rear independent subframes can be bolted on to the TB main frame.   Maybe they will make this into a decent handler in same mold as the SRX.   Also check out more pics of the upcoming Saaburu 9-6X / Tribeca.   http://www.channel4.com/4car/gallery/spy-shots-2004/S/subaru/trib- eca_page_4.html

remind me of the Porsche Cayenne in a way.
#208 of 346 Saab has sold out by j umberger Jan 27, 2005 (2:28 pm)
If I wanted a Subaru, or a Chevy, or a Buick, I'd buy one. What's with the cross-bred Saabs coming out lately???   I thought I finally spotted a 9-7x on the road the other day and was mortified to pull up and see an Oldsmobile badge on it. And Buick also has a "version" of the 9-7x. If Saab is going to begin selling GMs, they better do a much better job of disguising them. As a former Saab enthusiast, the LAST two brands I'd ever want to be mistaken in would be Buick and Oldsmobile. Debra Kelly-Ennis is driving this brand into the gutter.

Replying to: j umberger (Jan 27, 2005 2:28 pm) In light of the fact that the vehicle that so "mortified "you was in fact NOT a 9-7X but an Olds Bravada,how do you draw the conclusion that Saab is not adequately altering the source platform vehicle.As a Saab dealer I am aware that the car is not even in production yet.Perhaps you should wait until you see an actual 9-7X before coming to any conclusions.

Replying to: lcp1 (Jan 28, 2005 10:38 am) There are plenty of photos out there. My point wasn't about performance, it was about being mistaken for driving an Olds or a Buick. Based on the photos I've seen, the only difference is the tail lights and grill. The side panels, windows - EXACTLY the same

Replying to: j umberger (Jan 27, 2005 2:28 pm) Keep this in mind though- the 9-7X and 9-2X are stopgap models until they can get something with some Saab character on the road.
#212 of 346 Arrival of the 9-7x? by aerodriver Feb 06, 2005 (9:52 pm)
Does anyone have the model delivery date for the new 9-7x? Or at least when the demos will arrive so that we can see it up close and personal? Replies to this message: vector6 (Feb 07, 2005 10:06 am)

Replying to: aerodriver (Feb 06, 2005 9:52 pm) A dealer here in Denver said he'd have them on the lot in April. They don't even have brochures yet, which is surprising. I'm curious to see it in person as well - but also to see if the changes Saab has made will improve the pretty lousy safety ratings the Trailblazers et al receive. We have an 01 9-5 lease due up early summer, and I hate to jump from the Saab brand (also have an 03 Vector/Aero 9-3), but not sure if the 9-7 is truly going to deliver. Needs to be driven, I guess. Part of the debate, sadly, is that the 9-5 is a bit worn - some chipped metallic paint, a couple dings, and if we simply turn it in, I am afraid the lease demonds will really stick it to us. Also, the money incentives to lease again are quite strong. Has anyone had any experience with this?
#214 of 346 Official Pricing by mrblonde49 Feb 09, 2005 (1:02 pm)
I think it's competetively priced, especially if the typical GM discounts will apply...   Saab Announces 9-7X SUV Pricing   DETROIT, Mich. -- The all-new Saab 9-7X goes on sale in the United States this spring with very attractive pricing. Saab's first-ever SUV will come in two models: the Linear, priced at $38,990.00 and the Arc, priced at $40,990.00. Both MSRP's include a $720.00 destination charge.   The 9-7X SUV is just one part of the most aggressive product development offensive in Saab's 57-year history. It joins the 9-3 Sport Sedan and Convertible, the 9-5 Sedan and SportWagon and the all-wheel drive 9-2X, as well as the upcoming all-new Saab 9-3 SportCombi and the 250-hp 2.8V6 Turbo, which will become available in all 9-3 Aero models later this year.   The 9-7X Linear features standard all-wheel drive, leather-appointed heated front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, side-curtain airbags, integrated roof rails, OnStar, XM Satellite Radio, 6-CD Bose audio system and a choice between a moonroof or a rear-DVD entertainment system. It is powered by an in-line 6-cylinder engine that makes 275 hp and 275 lb.-ft. of torque. The 9-7X Arc adds xenon headlamps, adjustable pedals, headlamp washers and a 300-hp/330 lb.-ft. V8.   Saab owners will feel right at home in the 9-7X, which has the familiar cockpit-inspired instrument panel, signature sliding-plate vents, in-dash cupholder and center console-mounted ignition. The Saab 9-7X can be ordered in Obsidian Black, Titanium Silver and Ocean Blue.   Saab is making the 9-7X SUV even more attractive with a limited special offer. By registering before March 31, 2005, customers who purchase or lease a 2005 9-7X will get three years of free OnStar "Safe & Sound" and XM Satellite Radio service, a $700.00 value. In addition, current Saab drivers whose leases expire in February, March or April will qualify for a lease extension of up to six months to enable them to take delivery of a new 2005 9-7X.   Saab will target potential customers with a direct mail campaign by the end of February 2005. This mailing will direct prospects to the Saab 9-7X website, www.saab97Xsuv.com. Once customers have registered at this website, they will automatically receive the additional free services once they take delivery of their 2005 9-7X. Interested customers can go directly to the website even if they did not receive the mailing from Saab.   "The 9-7X joins the Saab lineup at the right time because the demand for premium midsize SUV's is strong," said Debra Kelly-Ennis, President and COO of Saab USA. "About forty percent of current Saab owners already have an SUV of another make in their garage, while nearly 30 percent of Saab owners have left the brand for an SUV in the past. With the 9-7X, Saab will be able to take advantage of the continued growth in this segment."   On top of that, the Saab 9-7X SUV represents outstanding value for money, especially when compared with the Volvo XC90. Not only has the 9-7X more headroom, legroom, towing capability and engine torque, it is also priced at over $8,000.00 less than a comparably equipped XC90 V8.   Saab Automobile AB and Saab Cars USA, Inc. are subsidiary companies of General Motors Corp. Saab Cars USA is the importer of Saab 9-2X, 9-3 and 9-5 automobiles for Saab Automobile AB, Sweden. For more information, please visit www.saabusa.com.
