http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/saab-94x-spy.pngJudging by the latest spy pics, it looks like the Saab (http://www.autoblog.com/make/saab/) 9-4x is fully baked and ready to hit the streets. Saab has stripped the camo off the integration prototypes for the new 9-4x crossover and it doesn't appear to have changed much since the original concept debuted (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/officially-official-saab-9-4x-biopower-concept-for-real-this-ti/) at the Detroit Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/) two years ago.
AutoExpress (http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/253351/94x_spied_almost_undisguised.html) is reporting that production has begun at the same Ramos Arizpe, Mexico plant that produces the Cadillac SRX (http://www.autoblog.com/model/srx), although we haven't been able to get confirmation from either Saab or General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/). Most likely, the plant is building the final production verification units now and we would expect to see the production 9-4x possibly debut at the Paris Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/) in September.
Like the concept, the production 9-4x will likely be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, with an optional 2.8-liter turbo V6 from the Turbo-X and the in the Cadillac SRX (http://www.autoblog.com/model/srx). AE is also reporting that the Saab will offer a 2.9-liter turbodiesel developed with VM Motori (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/06/geneva-motor-show-cadillac-unveils-new-2-9l-v6-diesel-for-cts/) which might be the V6 that was once planned for the European market Cadillac CTS.
