"Spyker/Saab chief Victor Muller recently stated that there will be an all-new Saab 9-3 on the market by 2012. What’s more, Muller said the new 9-3 “will be the first true Saab developed as a stand-alone [post-GM] company.”
While Muller would say little else on the record regarding the new car, we believe the photo-illustration seen here bears a very good likeness to the finished version we’ll see in 2012 as a 2013 model. We’ve also learned the car will actually be called the “93,” as opposed to the current “9-3.” As you can see, the new 93 will borrow the thick roof look of the recently introduced 9-5, but the smaller car will take the styling to a sportier level.
Underpinning the new 93 will be what’s being dubbed the Phoenix platform, which may also serve the next-generation 9-5. If our sources are correct, Saab will rely on many suppliers to build the new 93, the latest rumors suggesting the Swedish brand could use a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder from Mini/BMW. Such an engine could easily produce 200-plus-bhp in 93 form, and Saab’s excellent XWD all-wheel-drive system should still be an option.
The 93 sedan you see here will launch first, but count on a convertible soon after and, believe it or not, the return of a 93 hatchback model a bit later. "
