This is what Wikipedia says:
The Saab 9-1X is a compact car expected to be introduced by Saab Automobile for the 2009 model year.[1] It will perhaps share its Delta architecture with the Opel Astra. Saab Managing Director Jan-Åke Jonsson said that the 9-1 will be built at Saab's home plant in Trollhättan and will be built on the same platform as the next-generation Opel Astra. Saab intends to build the vehicle at their Trollhättan factory, but also other European GM factories have been mentioned. It will be the successor of the Saab 90 and Saab 99 and be the company's entry-level car. A cabriolet might also be possible, but then possibly under the name Saab Sonett IV.
The car was shown as a concept at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. According to Motor Trend the 9-1 will be a premium small car in the same vein as the Mini Cooper, Volvo C30 and BMW 1-Series and that it may debut on the London auto show. It may not be sold as a Saab, even if that is the most likley, but as a Pontiac, Buick or Saturn.
