Saab 9-4X Crossover

Although we've known about the 9-4x for quite some time, it's still a big deal for the newly reinvigorated Saab.  Even though Saab has never been big on SUVs,  they're an absolute necessity to have a complete product portfolio, and this 9-4 should go a long way to boosting the brand's sales.

It doesn't hurt to make your cars attractive, and this vehicle, along with the new 9-5, are the best looking Saabs in years.  It shares it's platform with the Cadillac SRX, though I'd say the Saab's exterior is the more successful of the two.  I especially enjoy the blacked out A-pillars, a design touch which seems to be popping up on a lot of cars lately.

Problems?  Well, considering it based off the Cadillac, expect it to be heavy, slow, and not so good at the pump.  Also, considering the asking price of the new 9-5 sedan, the 9-4X will not be cheap.
