Saw a 9-7x ..almost

Walking into work today, i saw an SUV parked in the lot that looked just like the new 9-7x, in black. I took a double take and walked up to it, but all it was, a 2005 equinox.

Not the same platform. Equinox = nice.

I agree. Building the 9-7X on the same platform as the Equinox would be more logical since Crossovers seem to be more in while SUVs are more out. Leave it to GM to botch yet another opportunity.

We seem to be in this media blackout in terms of info on the 9-7X. I haven't heard anything else on the 9-6x either, nor the 9-3X / wagon.

I wonder if Saab/GM are having second thoughts. I really hope for Saabs sake that they get the driving experience right on this suv. If this is bad Saab is gonna be flushed crap in most peoples eyes.

Interesting thought. If it really stinks they are going to have a hell of a time getting people into showrooms for more attractive offereings on the horizon.
