The Swedish company Saab has a rich history in aviation and automobiles, among other things. With Saab Automobiles under GM control, the products have suffered a bit as GM works to integrate Saab with its other European interests. The current lineup includes the 9-3 series, 9-5 series, and a version of GM's midsized SUV, the 9-7x.

For 2008, the 9-3 convertible, sedan and wagon receive some attention with updated styling mostly to the front end. The big news is the inclusion of an optional AWD system on sedan and wagon models. A limited edition Turbo X version will combine AWD with a turbocharged V6 rated at 280 hp.

The Saab 9-7x adds the AERO model powered by 6.0L LS2 V8 rated at 390 hp.
