With all the buzz this week regarding the 9-4X making it�s debut at the 2008 NAIAS in Detroit this coming January, we were pleased to find it testing on public roads yesterday � even if it is only a �test mule�.
The 9-4X is a joint project between the engineering team in R�sselsheim, Germany, and the Trollh�ttan (Sweden) designers. Loosely based on the Saab Aero X Concept, this �mule� is wearing a Chevrolet Trailblazer body with a Saab 9-7X front end! To add to the international mix of this modified Theta/Epsilon 2 �architecuture�, General Motors has confirmed that a Cadillac will also be built on this platform. Both the Saab and Cadillac versions will be built in Mexico for markets world-wide.
Although the 9-4X �introduction� is expected to take place just four months from now, we�re anticipating this to arrive at dealerships in the autumn of 2009, as a 2010 model.
