It's a good looking car, but I'd like to do away with the plastic on the lower portions.

Did VM actually say that ?

Morph the 900 on stilts with the Saab/Scania OE vehicle and you have the 9-4X.
I am comparing the 9-4X (or any other crossover) to an "adventure" type motorcycle. It's good at many things but doesn't excel in certain tasks.
A true SUV is better for off-roading, rock-crawling and towing.
A sports car is better in handling and accelerating/branking
A small car or hybrid is better for fuel economy
A van is better for transporting people and cargo
A large sedan is perfect for a cross-country trip
For example, my kind of riding on my motorbike is ride for about 150 miles on the road, explore a few back roads and out of the way places, load it up with luggage cases and camping gear, or take it for a short ride around town. I also ride it for longer trips a few times a year. A sport-tourer would be better for long highway trips, a dirt bike for serious offroading, a true sport bike for speed and handling and a cruiser for style. But the fact is I want to do all those things in one day and I can only afford one motorcycle.
As long as you don't expect a crossover to excel in certain areas, it'll be a great vehicle for many activities. Now I really want a 9-4X!
