Anyone know if Saab has a 9-3 Coupe in the works? Most of their competitors have them... Volvo C70, BMW 325/330Ci, Mercedes C230/320 Sport Coupe, Infiniti G35, Acura RSX. I know that if a 9-3 Coupe were available with comparable pricing to the Sedan, I'd have bought the coupe. I love the look of the MB C-Sport Coupe, but they don't lease well at all so I had to pass. The RSX is nice, but was a bit too small. Saab could do what MB does and offer the 9-3 SC with the sport suspension only, but with both engines. And since the Saab sedan is the biggest compared to their sedans, their Coupe would probably be the biggest - a good thing since the back seat can be unhospitable in some of those. They'd save money on replacing faded door handles too!
GM has the platforms available to make Saab Coupes. A 9-2 Coupe could be built off the WRX platform or the Delta platform. Rebadge a Saturn ION Redline or upcoming Chevy Cobalt SS and have a 9-2 Aero Coupe. What about the new rear drive platform that will underpin the new Pontiac Solstice roadster? Supposedly the next Grand Am will share the 9-3 platform and be available as a coupe so why not a Saab? They'd probably sell more coupes than wagons, and the wagon is supposedly the next variant.
