Saab 9-4X Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThe question of whether General Motors<\/a> will go ahead and sell Saab<\/a> to Spyker seems no closer to getting a real-life answer today after newly self-appointed GM CEO Ed Whitacre held a press conference<\/a> without naming a new owner for the troubled Swedish automaker. Perhaps then, reports of Saab’s production numbers offer a renewed glimmer of hope for Saabophiles the world over?<\/p>\n

According to Automotive News<\/em> and its DealerTrack report for the week of January 23rd, in addition to a small number of 2010 9-5<\/a> sedans, Saab produced 49 new 9-4X <\/a>crossovers last week, bringing the total number of completed units to 147. Wait a second, when did GM ever officially announce the start of 9-4X CUVs?<\/p>\n

Answer: It didn’t. As such, we’re guessing that these are preproduction models and pilots destined for crash testing and whatnot (according to GM Inside News<\/a>, that status has been confirmed), but it still may portend interesting things to come from the Saab brand moving forward.<\/p>\n
