The lights are on at Warren

I was talking to some of my buddies over at Warren today, and was waxing poetic about the Chinese Riviera and SAAB 9-4x BioPower concepts. I couldn't help but gush over there - the Riviera is everything the Chrysler Imperial concept of 2006 was trying to be, and the 9-4x is so completely different than anything I've ever seen in an SUV that I can't help but swoon. Toss the CTS coupe on the stack and you've got some serious design firepower from the company that used to be known for hard plastics on the outside of Pontiac Azteks.

VPB hears (from the Theta program itself) that the T-E Caddy is confirmed with a CTS-styled interior. No comments have been made on the viability of the 9-4x interior, but we doubt it will make it to production as-is. We hope the honeycomb vents stay - I've been personally buttering up everyone I know on Theta about them. I fear the acrylic dash will be toast - too hard to keep scratch-free, and probably just too hard to make anyway. The ski rack thingy is a major plus, too. SAABs have generally had interesting load floor fittings, and this continues the trend.
