Despite an uncertain future, Saab will continue adding more product to its portfolio next month when it debuts the 2010 9-3X at the Geneva Motor Show. The 9-3X is a jacked up version of the 9-3 SportCombi that employs the Swedish brand's Cross Wheel Drive (XWD) system that first debuted on the sporty Turbo X sedan. It sits 1.4 inches higher than the standard SportCombi on new multi-spoke 17-inch wheels and is powered solely by Saab's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The exterior also features new styling elements that reinforce the high-riding wagon's prowess when the road gets gravely, including this segment's obligatory two-tone paint scheme that highlights its flared fenders. The 9-3X also comes with roof rails to carry your surf board and skis, skid panels fore and aft for when the curbs get really high and twin tail pipes. The new 9-3X looks ready to pick up where the late 9-2X - which was actually a rebadged Subaru WRX - left off. The 9-3X, however, is all Saab... err... GM.
