2008 Saab 9-7x Aero
Last month I reported that the Saab 9-7x was on Death Row, and production would end in a few months. Apparently that’s no longer the case, or GM is even stupider than I thought they were ( and for the record, I think they’re pretty stupid. )
Instead of throwing in the towel on one of the biggest failures in Saab’s failure-lined history, GM is releasing a more powerful, more expensive version. Meet the Saab 9-7x Aero - a new top of the line Trailblazer 9-7x. Here’s the lowdown:
Saab 9-7x Aero Specs
- 390 HP 6.0 liter LS2 OHV V8
- 0-60 MPH comes in less than 6 seconds
- 20″ Alloy wheels
- Base MSRP : $45,690
Ok, so this will be an extremely fast truck - a Corvette engine will do that. And it’s a good looking SUV - it’s hard to deny that. But that’s about all the positive things I can say about this vehicle. Saab does not need a Trailblazer in it’s lineup, and they truly don’t need a Trailblazer SS ( which is what the 9-7x Aero is ). The regular 9-7x didn’t make sense, and this one makes about $6,000 less sense. Bad move GM, bad move. How about spending your time and money on vehicles that there is actually a reasonable level of demand for?
