From Car and Driver: I love this new phrase coined in the C&D write-up: “Saabnitive Dissonance”. This heading seems to describe the departures from the Saab norm; they point out that Jason Castriota’s roots at Ferrari signal a departure from history and that the design is not your typical Saab.
On the flip side, they, too, note the Pontiac-ish tail lights.
- From TopGear: “Think of this Saab as the T-1000 of concept cars, only with less duplicitous pointy-metal-finger death and more economy. ”
- From Car Magazine: “[Jason Castriota] called the new language ‘Aeromotional’. But we see plenty of hallmarks of Castriota’s work at Bertone, mashed up with references to Saab’s past.”
Car Magazine also calls the PhoeniX “one of the few genuine surprises of the Geneva show”.
- From AutoExpress: “The future is looking bright for Saab. In the boldest statement yet of its new-found confidence, the Swedish giant took the wraps off this stunning sports car concept at the Geneva Motor Show”
- From TopSpeed: “ Back in 2006 Saab impressed the world with the launch of the Aero-X, a concept considered a piece of art back then. But now, five years later Saab wants to amaze us once again. And they did with the launch at the Geneva Motor Show of the new Phoenix, a concept car that previews the design language of next generation of Saab cars. You have to admit, if the future Saab models will look anything like this, then the company will really raise from its own ashes, like the Phoenix bird did.”
- From the New York Times: “‘We did it to show we could, to show that we are here to stay,’ said Victor Muller, Saab’s chief executive, in an interview.”
- From Motor Authority: ”clean, muscular shape” and “a 2+2 cabin that blends simplicity with technology”
- From Kilometer Magazine: “The Phoenix is simply stunning, and we expect that while a sport coupe might not be Saab’s first priority, the face, some of the surfacing, and hopefully the dot-matrix taillights will make it to future production models. While looking thoroughly modern, the PhoeniX also looks very Saab and it even evokes the Sonett with its short, stubby rear end. New design languages always need a buzzword and the one for this new look is ‘Aeromotional.’”
- From NetCarShow: A very no-nonsense, workman-like description. Almost like they just copied the press kit or something. . Worthy of mention because of the fantastic gallery of Saab PhoeniX photos posted on the page.
- From Jalopnik: They invite you to “check out the hot, sexy Swedish action of the exterior”.

Spero proprio di no!E' veramente mastodontico e pesantissimo e aggiungo sgraziato.No comment per il posteriore,se la 9-3 next generation prende spunto da questo.......preparo le carte per l'iscrizione ASI della mia(e mancano quasi dodici anni)Lucantropo ha scritto:ma mi terrorizza l'idea di quel frontale trasportato sulla 9-3...

Per forza!Lucantropo ha scritto:... il cofano davanti poi mi sa tanto di BMW Z4...
Secondo me invece sarà un grave errore non fare anche la Sedan ( cosa gli costa ? ) , insomma con la 9-3NG abbiamo abbandonato la 900-9.3Coupè per seguire la moda e il mercato … ora che il mercato apprezza le Hatch abbandoniamo la Sedan ?!?! La Sedan sarà sempre apprezzata non bisogna accantonarla !!! Cavolo ma sono proprio dei .... sulla stessa piattaforma si potrebbero fare : SedanCoupè 3p , Sedan 4p , Sedan 5p , Hatch , Cabrio , X !!!! Perchè limitarsi quando si potrebbe ampliare la gamma molto semplicemente ( come già avevamo discusso in passato ? )NickStick ha scritto:Castriota dice che il disegno della parte frontale sara' utilizzato per la sostituta della 9-3 (non credo cosi' com'e'), mentre la parte posteriore e gli "eccessi" aerodinamici sono solo uno studio, la nascitura SARA' HATCH COME LA 900c e NON ci sara' la versione sedan.
Bella! Il terzo volume spiovente (magari da portellone!) la accorcia visivamente e la rende più aggressiva.SUPERFRA ha scritto:Guardate questi Photoshop … praticamente la 9-5NG con alcuni particolari ripresi dalla PhoeniX … non è per niente male !
