We were hoping to see the 9-4x out in the wild but in the end we had to find a dealership with one in stock to finally get a quick look at it. It was actually bigger sized in real life then I expected. I’m not the biggest fan of SUVs but the 9-4x have finally made me to actually consider having one. The real size did actually put me off a bit but I still can’t wait to get to testdrive one here in Europe. It’s going to be interesting to see if it still feels like a SAAB to drive.

As mentioned in an article earlier I totally agree that SAABs tend to feel like… a SAAB to drive. Some people like it, (and some don’t I suppose). I still wonder if they have managed to get that feel in to such a big beast. That SAAB feel is something that I cant put my finger on what it is, but I know I really like it.

After I had to get rid of my tuned 9000 Aero I was driving another brand for a while but after I test drove a 9-3 diesel I knew I had to get myself another SAAB again. On pure performance the small diesel was a completly different car to my old 9000 but I could still immediately feel it was a SAAB i was driving. In the end i ended up switching to a 9-3 Aero V6 Cab to fulfill my SAAB needs.

Was soo missing my own car as the miles in the hire car were clocking up. It was not a SAAB, i could definitely feel that. Would have loved to go to the event as Connecticcut is a lovely part of the US and the fall foliage gives a beautifull backdrop to all the beautiful SAABs.
