Saab Announces Pricing for All-Wheel-Drive 9-2X NORCROSS, Ga.,
April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Saab 9-2X is the next significant
step in the biggest product development program in Saab's history.
With standard all-wheel-drive, powerful engines, and distinctive
European design -- as well as versatile 5-door body style -- it is
a unique offering in a developing new niche in the car market: the
premium sports compact segment. The first Saab 9-2X models will go
on sale in the U.S. and Canada on June 1, 2004 -- ahead of many
competitors who are also bringing products to this market. With
aggressive pricing, the Saab 9-2X will be the first premium brand
vehicle for many of its customers. With this vehicle, Saab expects
to attract customers, in their early stages of their career, who
are cosmopolitan and open-minded, and who appreciate the
sophisticated style of a European brand. Pricing starts at $22,990
for the 9-2X Linear, equipped with a 165-hp 2.5L 4-cylinder engine.
Standard equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55 R16
all-season tires, AM/FM/CD stereo system, climate control system,
cruise control, tilt-adjustable steering column, power door locks
with remote keyless entry, power windows, power-adjustable exterior
mirrors and rear window wiper/washer. The 9-2X Aero model, with its
227-hp turbocharged and intercooled 2.0L 4- cylinder engine, is
priced at $26,950. In addition to equipment on the 9-2X Linear, the
Aero model distinguishes itself with larger front brake discs,
hood-mounted intercooler air intake, front fog lamps, unique light
alloy wheels, automatic climate control system, 6-disc in-dash CD
changer, metallic- rimmed instrument dials, sport textile
upholstery, leather wrapped sport steering wheel, shifter knob and
handbrake handle. Both Linear and Aero models come with a 5-speed
