Saab 9-4X sighting

[nordwulf]

I was on my way to Ikea (metro Detroit area) to get some lunch and my eye caught this 4 lanes over. Many have seen the 9-4X at autoshows and in the pictures but I was quite excited to spot my first one on the road.

It was quite busy and it took while to get behind it. I followed it for a while and took some more pictures when it was parked. Stickers in the window showed it was part of a test fleet and there was a parking tag of the GM Powertrain - Pontiac Campus in the window. Interesting to see GM is still testing Saabs.

Best looking crossover ever! Apologies for the crappy picture quality of my mobile phone.

I'm in Michigan too, and I only just saw my first new 9-5 last week. It'll probably be another 6 months before I get to see a 9-4x in the wild. Thanks for sharing your pics tho. And nice wagon of your own, btw.

I saw a new black 9-5 Aero on Woodward in Birmingham today. Looks like no other car on the road.

I still have yet to see a new 9-5 in the wild. The 9-7x probably has to be the second most common Saab I see, right after the NG900/9-3, so I'm hoping I'll see a lot more 9-4x's around.

Your photos are good . Nice find .It looks good indeed even if I'm not interested by SUV's in general.

I can only agree with the number plate ... Bah!

It looked like it was the regular non-Aero model because it had wood trim in the interior. Not much other info so this is pretty much it as far as write-ups go.

I definitely like this car. Thanks for the report, Wulf.

First spy shots from Saabworld! Even some other Saab related websites don't have 9-4X pictures except for auto show pictures. Consider a write-up! It would be a good Sunday evening article!

Good eye, Wulf. I like how you stalked it to the parking lot, then posed your 9-5 beside it

Make something up. Isn't that how many of the motoring presses operate ?

Not gonna lie. It looks like another boring GM SUV to me. I doubt I would have even noticed that it was a Saab had I seen it on the road. :/ Unfortunate because I'd really like to be interested in the new products Saab devlops.
