Geneva '08 Preview: Saab 9-1 teaser emerges



Saab will be debuting a new concept at the Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of weeks and most people are expecting it to be a new mini-car. We already showed you what Motor Trend thinks Saab has cooking in Trollhättan. Now a teaser image has turned up on the media site where GM is announcing the presentation of the new car. With the silhouette of the new car flanked by the previous 9X and Aero-X concepts, it's clear the new concept is continuing some of the design language seen on recent Saabs, particularly the head lights and and wrap-around windshield glass. Beyond that and the presence of two front wheels we know nothing else at this point. One safe bet - considering Saab's fondness for ethanol - is a flex-fuel engine. With GM recently confirming that they will offer a 1.4L turbo four starting next year, an alcohol-burning version in the Saab seems like a no-brainer.
