Concept: Saab's Aero X
07:14 | 
One of my favorite concept cars at the North American International Auto Show was the Saab Aero X. Its gull wing doors, turbine wheels and aerodynamic design is an homage to Saab’s airplane heritage. I had the opportunity to speak with Brian Nesbitt, executive director of GME Design and talk with him about the car.
Reporter’s Notes: We must be making quite an impression on the large automakers with our content here on The Next Gear. So much so that GM invited us for an all expense paid trip to Detroit to cover the North American International Auto Show. While there, they wined and dined us and gave us unprecedented access to designers, high level corporate bigwigs and company spokespeople, yet with no requirement that we publish anything about them, only that we disclose this enticement. It was an opportunity we are happy to share with you, our audience. I encourage you to leave your feedback!

IMHO, SAAB is on its way out. Did you see all the “GM” cars at Detroit? They look good, but nothing new for SAAB. Lets not take it personal, but a possible reason all SAAB products are not new from ground up and news to come are so far away is the sell or closing of SAAB is nigh! Watch another GM brand take the ignition… Watch another gm brand take the Aero X door opening design and Lutz will say, “Other auto companies do it why can’t we?

Interesting thought Dr. Of course, Brian will say differently, yet the only “new” Saab I saw was the bio power and this concept car. Brian does state that the concept was about showing that they believe in the brand. It will be interesting to see what happens…I can’t though imagine they would let the brand die. It would be a tragedy for Saab fans and be a sob (Saab) story of incredible magnitude…
