GM introduces Cadillac STS and Saab 9-7X in NYIAS 2003

[aybaybay925]

9-7X is epic fail and they couldnt even make up to 1/3 of their projected sales

[ansettnz100]

They say Saab and Cadillac are vastly different. Thats not so with the BLS now is it?

[ianfigures]

It makes me sad that Saab is part of American company now. I still consider them Sweedish. At least Saab is only a Subsidiary of GM instead of a division of GM. GM shouldn't get credit for a car made by one of the best European car companies.

[Creekside04]

Without GM there would no longer be ANY Saab.

The 9-7X is a great vehicle.

[ansettnz100]

I wish the 9-7x was availible here in New Zealand. if it was then i would buy one.

[zorokakashi]

not a Saab.

GM is full of crap

[phatchase]

we luckly got 2 saab 9-3 convertibles before GM took over. they are amazong. we had a 9-3 Areo sedan but it was a GM product, 3 days later, we took it back.

[ansettnz100]

The 2 9-3 convertibles you talk about were also apart of GM product development! You see the second generation 900 was the first GM inspired Saab followed by the 9-5 then the 9-3 then 9-2x then 9-7x

[phatchase]

not trying to be mean but the SAAB dealership PROUDLY told us that there 2 9-3 convertible saabs we have a re full breed import. not a GM product.

[ansettnz100]

Ah yes I think I get what you mean. Are you saying the 2 9-3's you own are true Saab's because they are built and designed in europe?

[phatchase]

i am saying they are SAABS not GM Saab's. gah thats what i said the first time but you just dont get it geezz

[ansettnz100]

The 9-3 convertible you are talking about is a direct result of the second generation 900 which was derived from an old opel vectra platform. This car was aparently heavily influenced by GM. Take the V6 engine from the second generation 900, that was made by vauxhall, is that GM or what? The last real SAAB was the first generation 900.

[dee8817]

I almost cried when I seen this crap, where's the turbo engines? Damn GM SUCKS!

[ansettnz100]

Hmmm, instead of a turbo engine in the 9-7x you get a huge V8 or an inline 6. Sounds good to me.

[CadyCTSlover]

it's so depressing the 9-7x shows everything that is wrong with GM's recent product lineup. i am a devoted GM lover, they are really getting back on track. but this saab is all wrong, just badge engineering and that guy 'peter' introducing it knows it.

[ansettnz100]

The 9-2x was far worse then the 9-7x. The 9-2x interior had no 'Saabness' at all. It is identical to the Subaru WRX. The 9-7x has a very good Saab inspired interior and I accept it as part of the Saab family. But the 9-2x is not.

[DrCox82]

THAT car is NO Saab, the thing is a GMC trailblazer with som f*cked up GM interior. SAAB sweden told GM they didnt want too see that car in Europe. what an ugly car. (this from a saab owned +lover)

[ansettnz100]

That f8cked up GM interior is almost all inspired from the 9-5 of the time. Although the stereo looks like one out of the oldsmobile bravada.

[ansettnz100]

From what I know, that stereo is the one out of the oldsmobile bravada! Apparently the rear fenders and the hatch of the 9-7x are also inspired from the bravada! At the time of its release, the 9-5 was already getting old and they had an all new 9-3 model on the market, so instead of introducing the better interior features of the 9-3 into the 9-7x they used the dated woodgrain and other inspirationa from the old 9-5!

[ansettnz100]

The Saab 9-7x although not apart of the main product portfolio in Europe is availible to purchase from participating Saab dealers who import them direct from Saab USA.

[ShiniGamiSTi]

I almost fell sleep 2 min into the video. Born From Jets oh yeah.

[sarpicaste]

Thank you. I am also a big GM fan, I hope they continue to expand their fuel efficient cars (Like the Aveo).

[OLDS98]
