Saab Aero X Concept

| What we think |

And all this time we were wondering what happened to Brian Nesbitt, designer of the PT Cruiser and the Chevy HHR. He seemed to disappear in the huge place that is GM, only to reappear as Executive Director of GM Design Europe. He’s the guy responsible for the Aero X, and boy, this sure ain’t no retro design. Should GM use this as inspiration for the upcoming 9-3, all that talk about the General dumping Saab into the Detroit River is washed away. The next thing you know, people will be wondering why Chevy can’t build a nice looking car – like a Saab, you know – and they’ll be talking about how, gee, maybe GM doesn’t really need Pontiac now that they have a near-luxury performance division in Saab, one with a pedigree and on the rebound.
