That hardware will also be available on the 9-3 Aero, and Saab's got another trick up its sleeve in the form of the 9-3X. Rather than go the lowered, Vaderized route of the Turbo X, the 9-3X is angling for the table scraps left over by the Audi Allroad, Volvo XC70, and even the luxed-up versions of the Subaru Outback. Raised suspension and skid-platey accents butch it up, along with extra cladding and exhaust tips big enough to flank some bumper nutz. The official unveiling will most likely be in Paris in October. With the pending 9-4 and tweaks to the 9-5, it's going to be a busy few months for Saab. <em>Thanks for the tip, Swade!</em><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2008/07/grainy-spyshots-saab-9-3x.html">Trollhattan Saab</a>]<br /><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2008/07/grainy-spyshots-saab-9-3x.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/16/spy-shots-saab-9-3x-in-the-works/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1257170/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/16/spy-shots-saab-9-3x-in-the-works/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
