...by basing their cars on existing cars that already have been out for a year+, and then waiting another year or two to release the SAAB version, isn't SAAB releasing cars that are a tad outdated from the getgo?

Just a thought.

This SUV looks surprisngly decent though, it will be interesting to see in person.

One other criticism though, the whole rhetoric about this being the "largest product offensive in SAAB history" is misleading. Really, they just released the 9-3SS. While the 9-2X and 9-7 technically are SAABs by name, SAAB didn't seem to have to do THAT much to release them. Its good advertising I guess, as it makes people think SAAB is making all these new models. Still, I see how these new rebadged SAABs are important as temporary moneymakers, so SAAB can make their own versions of them in the future.
