Saab To Show Off 9-1 At London Motor Show
Saab is showing off the new 9-1 next year at the London Motor Show preparing consumers for the time when they will be ready for purchase in 2009. Saab is determined to show off the car in all its glory by giving it a dramatic design with an iconic shape.
There had been some attention paid to a high-roof small CUV idea, but Saab has stated that the 9-1 will be sporty in that Saab way, though it will have the functionality younger buyers are looking for. Rather than pile on to the CUV segment, Saab could cash in some retro love and still make a very useful car that doesn’t put on truck airs.
The Saab 99 of the 1970s could provide some inspiration for the 9-1, resulting in a car that doesn’t occupy a lot of space, but at the same time can fit everyone comfortably. If you are curious as to how it might look Saab has givenhints that the design will be akin to both the 9-3X and the 9X.
