I woundn't use the Hummer as a comparison. The reason it sells well in the US is due to its military heritage. It's easy to sell this vehicle to a nation of militaristic gun loving freaks :) ! If the SAAB SUV includes turret mounted dual 20mm cannons and camouflage paint - it might have a chance.
I think this idea is about 5 years too late. It's a saturated market. As Wayne Gretzky once said - "You have to skate to where the puck is going to be." This is something the Swedes should relate to. I'd look to the Honda Element, or the Toyota Prius to position Saab for the future. I like the 9-2 idea as long as it's actually Saabified inside and out.
