Concept Cars: Saab 9-X Air

I was at the New England International Auto Show this past weekend and I saw a ton of cars that I thought were really cool.  Today I thought we’d take a look at a Saab Concept: The 9-X Air.  While it’s just a concept for now, it is light years ahead of the other Saabs that I’ve seen out on the road.

It’s really slick looking. Some of the things that the car is said to feature are:

• 1.4 L Saab BioPower Engine
• The Unique, Patent Pending ‘Canopy Top’
• Extremely fuel efficient, running on E85 Fuel.
• Very interesting console for the driver.

The thing that really got me going with this car was the drivers seat.  It seems so busy, but looks so cool all at the same time.  Take a look below and let me know what you think for yourself!  Just the way they designed the whole thing, with several video screens, the green lighting… it all works on this car.

You can check out more about this car over at Jalopnik… they’ve got a very good write up of what it’s said to have.  If you’ve got the auto show coming near you, make sure to check it out and let me know what you think about the car… I’d like to know if you like it as much as I do.  I’m not even normally a Saab person, but if I could get this car (and afford it), I would definitely switch to Saab.

It’s going to be revealed 25 years after Saab made its first venture into the convertible business.  What do you think?

I’ve got a lot more from the auto show, so I’ll try to get that on here as quick as possible.  Anybody else manage to check out the show?  I thought it was exceptional this year.  Very impressive lineup.
