In some ways, the 9-7X will be notably Saab-like. G.M. spent about $50 a vehicle to move the ignition switch to the console between the front seats, an idiosyncrasy that has been a Saab design feature for decades. It also remade the front grille and interior, lowered the frame an inch closer to the ground and altered the computer-controlled handling characteristics to make the 9-7X feel more carlike.
Robert A. Lutz, General Motors' vice chairman and product development chief, said in a recent interview: "Unless the press once again writes, 'Hey, everybody, don't be stupid, this is just a TrailBlazer underneath, do not buy this thing'; if they evaluate the design exterior and interior, and evaluate the ride and handling fairly, without bias, I think the vehicle can do very well for Saab."
But Csaba Csere, an engineer and the editor of Car and Driver magazine, called the new Saab "awfully risky."
"When you do a Saab 9-7X," he said, " where you basically take the TrailBlazer and hang a few Saab cues on it, which is basically what they've done, I think they're taking an enormous risk.
"Saab has been a very distinctive brand and one could argue that, over its history and life, there was nothing like a Saab," Mr. Csere said, noting that it was an innovator of front-wheel drive, turbocharged engines and aerodynamic design.
"To the longtime Saab buyer," he said, "that was one of the key attractions of Saab: 'I'm different. I'm not a conformist.' "

50 dollaria ei ole minusta huono sijoitus siihen, että avainnippu ei hakkaa jalkaa niinkuin muissa autoissa
Sinänsä juttu ei ole ihan tarkka, siinä on paljon muutakin varsinkin jousituksen osalta kuin "cue".
Uskon lisäksi, että ilman GM:n omistajuutta Saab olisi enemmän allikossa kuin nyt ja, että nykyinen strategia on oivallinen mikäli X mallit vain kiinnostavat ostajia.
