SHERMAN OAKS, California — Spy photos of the 2010 Saab 9-4X making time on the Nürburgring were snapped on the same day that Saab Automobile USA General Manager Steve Shannon was discussing the future Swedish crossover with a group of journalists at the Saab of Sherman Oaks dealership in Southern California.
Although the latest spy shots show a heavily camouflaged 9-4X prototype, Shannon confirmed the SUV will look "97 percent the same as the concept that was shown at the Detroit show" earlier this year.
"Priced like a BMW X3 and sized like an X5," Shannon said, "the 2010 Saab 9-4X will go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2009."
Based on the same global GM architecture as the 2010 Cadillac SRX, Shannon said that the 9-4X is still "every bit a Saab."
Shannon also confirmed that the 9-4X will make its production debut at an auto show next spring.
