Report: Saab 9-3X now available for order at U.S. dealers
Filed under: Wagon , Saab 2010 Saab 9-3X – Click above for high-res image gallery The good news for Saab loyalists is that dealerships have been told they may start placing orders for the Saab 9-3X . The bad news for Saab loyalists is that if the deal with Spyker falls through, that brand-new Saab you are dreaming about will never arrive in your driveway. In a nutshell, dealers are allowed to take orders for the cars, but there’s no pricing information and nothing will be officially submitted until the Saab/Spyker deal closes (as of now, this is scheduled for February 15). The announcement isn’t completely unexpected.

If Saab closes, will the new 9-5 live on wearing a Buick badge?

Specifically, General Motors is said to be considering taking the recently competed but not-yet-on-sale 2010 Saab 9-5 and resuscitating it as a Buick for America. If true, the move does make a bit of sense as the car is by all measures ready to go and it would be quite a waste to put it out to pasture before it ever sees the light of day – especially if the car is anywhere near as good as early reports suggest . Further, the going speculation is that The General could raid Saab’s parts and technology bins for more future products, including a possible revival of the large Opel Senator for Europe
