Just returning from a jaunt to the U.K. Picked up the current (4/2-8) issue of Auto Express, which reports...

GM set to build Saab 4x4

Saab is going off-road. Insiders at parent GM have said that a new SUV will soon be wearing the Swedish firm's bandge. However, Saab fans will be shocked to learn that the car will be based on GM's new mid-sized SUV truck platform and built in the US. Currently, GM produces three models on this chassis: Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada. But the phasing out of the Olds brand means the Saab 4x4 could slot in as the Bravada disappears. The newcomer will be aimed at the US, and because it needs to hit the showrooms as soon as possible, GM sources say only a few styling differences will separate it from the three existing SUVs. That means it will have either rear or four-wheel drive and choice of a 290bhp 5.3 litre V8 or punchy 275bhp 4.3 straight-six. It's also likely to get the Oldsmobile's electronic air suspension.

Is this old news drummed up again or shockingly new? A bit frightening.
