Saab Aero X concept car

Victor Muller, CEO of Spyker Cars, which only this week rescued Saab from automotive oblivion, was clearly enthused--"pumped" might be a better word--after along with Saab Automobile CEO Jan ?ke Jonsson (pronounced "yahn okie yonsson") addressing a group of Saab employees outside the Saab assembly plant in Trollhattan, Sweden, yesterday. And maybe it was the emotional champagne speaking, but Muller was laying the cards of Saab's future models on the table.
The main thing, said Muller, was to regain Saab's DNA, which "to some extent" had caused Saab's sagging sales. "If there's one thing we need to do in the coming years it's to build Saab Saabs rather than non-Saab Saabs," Muller said, adding "I think we'll see the results of that pretty soon."
As to what the Saab Saabs would be, Muller didn't elaborate, but there was a bit of smile as he continued, "But one has to bear in mind that the development time between the time one conceives a car and the moment it's on the road is about two or three years minimum."
Conceiving a car? Reading between the lines, that means something not in Saab's current repertoire, because Muller made clear reference to the new Saab 9-5, which "beautiful" and "a real Saab" (despite being designed and engineered during GM's occupation) will "sell like hotcakes."
Nor does it mean the Saab 9-4X crossover due out this year, of which just short of fifty examples have reportedly been built, most likely pre-production evaluation units, at the General Motors assembly plant in Mexico that also builds the platform-related Cadillac SRX. "I think we're looking at a tremendous development of that car in the marketplace," predicted Muller.
Nor does it mean the eventual replacement for the current Saab 9-3, as Muller also referred to it directly: "Over time we'll see the new 9-3 come up...."
But it was the next breath, "...and whatever other products we can think of."
Oh, do tell, Victor. A new, true, Saab Sonnet? The Saab Aero X concept come to production?
Alas, no, no word, not at the very least until the deal with GM is wholly consummated. For now, for whatever the new Saab may be, that card will remain face down.
