Saab SUV coming next year?
Sources say yes
From one of our spies in the city of good neighbors (Buffalo, N.Y.)
001,
I just read some info in Ward's Autoworld that I have not read anywhere else: Saab will have a new SUV introduced next year by GM. Here's the details from the May 2003 issue: "General Motors Corp executives say GM's Swedish subsidiary will get a badge-engineered version of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer.
Insiders say the much needed SUV, Saab's first, could go on sale as early as next year.
If so, there is no time for Saab Automobile AB to do more than make superficial changes to the 4.2L 6 cyl or 5.3L V8 powered truck. Tentatively called the 9-8, the truck would be built at the same Moraine, OH plant that assembles TrailBlazer and GMC Yukon. Insiders say the SUV is a short term solution to Saab's cash crisis."
