Its a Saab, makes it cool to me. Even though it is a GM underneath.

Dan_ · Jan 26, 2011

It has a SAAB badge, which makes it quite cool, but it is also a SUV and not turbocharged, neither outdated nor classic.

Volvo has the unmatched pursuit of safety, extensive use of useless (no pun intended) devices and some macho in the badge, Koenigsegg has the power, exclusivity and those dyhedral-whatever doors and SAAB had the weirdness, outdated styling and mad engines.

What's the point in owning a Swedish car and not bragging about how crazy it is?

Meh.

I find it Cool by the looks and the fact that it's a SAAB. I've always liked the sort of "aero-face" front fascia of SAABs and it sets this off nicely in my opinion.

Did SAAB actually go bust or did Spyker buy them out like what was predicted?

SRV2LOW4ME · Jan 26, 2011

Seriously uncool. Its a Saab and its a SUV that you can barely drive onto a lawn.

Badge-engineering heaven. Not cool at all.

astrosdude91 · Jan 26, 2011

SAABs in my eyes are always cool. But this may say SAAB on it, but it's really just a badge engineered Cadillac SRX. Plus, when have crossovers ever been cool?

Uncool.

What? You don't like the Saturn Vue?

FatherOfPearl · Jan 26, 2011

I gave it a cool earlier, simply on styling. I'd take this shell over the SRX's or Vue's any day.

And I'd say it's more of an SUV than a Crossover.

Edit: I must say I did almost give it a "meh" until I looked up more pictures.

Uncool. The fact that it's a Saab is the only reason it's not getting a seriously uncool...

You mean the Cadillac SRX (oops, beaten to it).

I actually have no opinion regarding that car. It's just that seeing the Saab version brings to mind "Silence of the Lambs" and costumes sewn out of skin...

(Disclaimer: I drive a re-badged car.)

Leonidae@MFT · Jan 26, 2011

Seriously Uncool. Now, if they only made Aero or Viggen out of it..

Jim Prower · Jan 26, 2011

Wow, that is...pug-ugly. Considering I never see them either, (and I live in "little Sweden, as we have Saabs everywhere) and, well, it's a CUV (A.K.A., mom-mobile,) I can't call it "cool."

I guess being owned by Spyker would give a company the right to make an seriously uncool and very ugly SUV. I mean, it does remind me of Spyker's attempt:

Dear God, that's awful! It looks like a Spyker C8 that's been through several months of binge eating!

Does it have a propeller in the back?

That'd be one helluva looker in the amphibious car world. I'd buy it. But if it can only navigate highways, sorry...but it's too ugly.

Nicksfix · Jan 27, 2011

I can't make up my mind. The Saab part is kind of cool,the SUV part is uncool.

I'll go in the middle - meh.

Stigsblkcousin · Jan 27, 2011

Seriously uncool.

I'm against all the premium medsized crossover sport utility vehicles deals. I think cars should be described in two words or less. I.E.: Car, Truck, Van and Sports car.

Azure Flare · Jan 27, 2011

Its one of those "soft-roaders". Uncool

It's not really even a cross over. It looks more like Spyker making a Saab version of their D12 SUV. And obviously, Spyker isn't someone to go to to make a good looking SUV. I mean, it looks like a bloated 9-3.

I am interested to see what Spyker's influence will have on Saab's cars.

I don't think it's a Spyker creation. Going by the platform it sit's on, I'd say it's a leftover from the final GM days that they're just now getting around to producing.
