Well, I guess I could eventually live with a SAAB 9-7 SUV (that is the existence thereof, as to owning it: Jamais), but the thought of it being a horrible cross-platform GM clone, looking like a GMC/Cad/Chev/Buick/Olds/Isuzu & whatever N-body bulky tank Scared the living daylights out of me. For the record, I don't like the X90, X5, Merc ML either. But at least they seem to at least have the looks of the stable they come from.
