Edmunds reports: Saab to replace 9-2X with new 9-1. Ah, yes, Saabs should be smaller. Oh, wait, no they shouldn't. They should be cooler. And more functional. And they should be different because when a Saab is different, it's usually better. In unrelated news, Saab has displayed it's nano-sized 9-0 prototype. With holographic drive, it's a coupe/wagon/minivan/SUV all at once. And it's sitting right behind you!
We still feel the 9-2x was ill-conceived. Why do all the luxury players out there feel they need to have an affordable dealie for sale? Look, we'd love to have a Maserati, but a $28,000 Maserati is'nt ever going to be a Maserati. Saab, it's OK to have your least-expensive car be $29,500. Just make a it a killer car for $29,500.
