First Drive: 2012 Saab 9-4X
2012 Saab 9-4X - First Drive - Automobile Magazine
Late but still fashionable

A bumpy gestation
The 9-4X is a five-seat crossover -- Saab's first -- and a sister car to the Cadillac SRX. The two were developed together back in the days when Saab was a member of General Motors' (much larger) family. But just when the 9-4X was about to launch (as a 2009 model, like the SRX), the General, as you may have heard, hit some rocky financial shoals. While the SRX proceeded to market, the 9-4X was put on ice and Saab was put on the block. A newly independent Saab is now finally ready to roll out its crossover SUV.

What baffles us most is the "CAT" above the door; does the owner suppose it will keep literate raccoons out?
