This is from an older post on this BB. Who knows what is true! :)
"Last week, GM decided against building a seven-passenger SUV for the Saab brand that would use many of the same components of the Cadillac SRX. Saab spokesman Kevin Smith said they found after studying the idea that a Saab SUV would have only appealed to buyers in North America. and it would have cost too much to differentiate it from the Cadillac.
"With the lion's share of the volume coming mostly from the U.S. market, the economies of scale just weren't there for the required volume," he said.
But Saab is proceeding with plans to build a five-passenger mid-size SUV, similar to the 9-3X concept SUV shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The smaller SUV also could sell well in Europe and Saab's home market of Sweden."
