Shouldn't this be a *YARTT* (Yet Another Rebadged Trailblazer Thread)? :p It looks about like I expected it would, a Saab front end tacked on to the same old GMT360 platform. It looks OK and I'm sure it will be an adequate SUV, but GM really needs to lay off the blatant rebadging.

Looks like those are GM engines. Sad to see Saab leave it's roots just to chase some fad. What about all their "state of independance" commercials where they tout the i4 over the v8?

Besides, Euro's built in America = crap. I'll take my Saab 9-3 Aero from Sweden, thank you.

This is a sad day. The truck looks good as "Saab", but the driving experience will be GM. I remember reading that GM laid off most Saab engeneers in Sweden anyways. Saab lost their ability to design cars independenly.

Ah well, Volvo was meant to rule Sweden anyways.
