Slick! I just wish it didn't have those fins that came up to mesh with the windows, it looks kinda odd. The wrap-around windshield is great!

Yes, Volt and 9-1 (which the 9X Air previews) are both Delta II vehicles, as is Chevy Cruze and the next Opel Astra.

the wheelbase seemed about right. any word on if its a hybrid? a convertible volt variant would be pretty cool.

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

Is it RWD? Please? I actually think the Solstice/Sky/GT platform would handle the volt drivetrain fairly well - there's already no space in the back, it's all used up by the fueltank - it'd be a no-brainer to swap it with that LiIon battery pack.

Interesting seeing the two-tiered Dash. Everyone blasted Honda over doing it in the Civic, now we're starting to see manufacturer's follow - because the concept has merit.

 Re: FV-QR »« »

Thank GOD a carmaker has found a way to avoid the "tiny head" look of the recent rash of retractable-hardtop convertibles! They all look the same, all ridiculous. From SLK to Eos to Pontiac G-whatever, the dictates of the top's engineering and space-needs when stowed have made these cars look like doo-doo, IMO. Nice job, Saab.

Saab is like Hyundai from 5-10 years ago. They pump out some amazing concepts that look almost production ready but not a single one gets even close to an assembly line.

Wake me when the General figures out what to do with them.

I think it looks absolutely brilliant! Great return to wraparound windscreen, ala C900.

I really hope, production version won't be too far from concept.
Fingers crossed but I am not holding my breath.

Anyone else notice the latest spy shots of the upcoming Nissan 350z suddenly look similar?

Am I seeing things?
