It looks like a shorter wagon, which is just fine by me. A sweet little sporty hatchback--it's got Saab written all over it! Sure, it would be a little 'dated' by Saab's design standards, but I don't care. I'm still excited to see what's coming up!

I read a rumour that one of the platforms Saab and Fiat were designing during this period ended up in only one car; The Alfa Romeo Brera. Is it any truth in that?
