After a little over a year, I’m getting out of my lease early. The replacement is one of those cars I’ve wanted since it came out, and isn’t a Cadillac. I take delivery tonight. I’ll post it then, in the meantime, feel free to try to guess what it is.

Clue: It is kind of related to the Saab 9000, but not in any way you’d think.

I’m going to guess it’s something designed by giugaro.

It’s either an alfa romeo, a buick park avenue ultra (giugaro did the interior design of the car), a suzuki SX4, or a subaru SVX.

Did you actually get out of the lease, like they paid it out/bought the car, or did they just roll it into the new car?

Because GM’s own staff does it 99.5% of the time (for better or worse). Why have one of the biggest and best design studios in the world if you don’t use it?

Related to the Saab 9000, but not in the way I think.

So you got an Alfa Romeo 164?

Or you got a Chevy Malibu, which shares a platform with the last Saab 9-5 made, which in turn is the successor to the old 9000?

Related to the Saab 9000 because it has 4 wheels and an engine in the front?

It’s sold in LHD countries as the Lancia Thema...the original Lancia Thema is a rebadged Saab 9000...Kevin Bacon’s your uncle...
