A few weeks ago, a number of media joined Saab in Boston for a test drive of the new brand new Saab Turbo X. One of our guests was blogger Gradon Tripp of Design Boston, a Boston-based blog dedicated to “news and information about architecture, interior-, product-, and green design from around the city and beyond.” Check out his review of the Turbo X:
You know I love architecture and interior design. Almost as much as I like those, I like cars. For as much as I write about green design, I love driving fast. I’m nothing if not complicated.
Today, instead of sitting behind a desk, I was given the chance to sit behind the wheel of the fastest, most powerful Saab ever: the Saab Turbo X .
Why is it called the Saab Turbo X? Well, Saab starts with the 9-3 and puts in a turbocharged 2.8 V6 that produces 280 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Then they add a unique Cross Wheel Drive system. Cross, because torque can be transferred between the rear wheels - something that doesn’t happen in other AWD systems and helps the car keep control through all types of driving situations. All that power is delivered to the pavement through 18″ wheels wrapped in high performance tires.

Today’s photo comes from John Levanen.
Be sure to look at all of Jim Levanen’s photos and our other albums. And if you would like to recommend your favorite photo with a GM car or truck in it, put it up on Flickr and tag it with “gmfyi.”
