unless rapidly followed by new iron in the showrooms.
The rule of trade shows is to believe 10% of what you see and less of what you hear. That's especially true for concept cars.
Phoenix may have the new 9-3 platform, but absent real cars in showrooms it is close to meaningless--little more than eye-candy. Should a real 9-3 come out auto writers will mention Phoenix only in passing.
The reality is that with a decreasing number of dealers, financial issues that have stopped production, and parts for new and recent models unavailable, Saab is still in deep trouble and even with Chinese money it could well be a year before things really improve. And it will take more than the new 9-5 to make it happen.
And with 4 Saabs in my fleet this does not make me happy.
