Hummer, Cadillac, Saab's April Offers Uninspiring

Incentives are rarely surprising. They’re usually relatively consistent from month-to-month, with a few exceptions (this month’s crazy deluge of Ford and Chrysler deals falling squarely under that umbrella). So it goes with Hummer, Cadillac and Saab in April.

Neither Hummer’s nor Cadillac’s incentives manage to make their models’ high prices more enticing: the H2 has $2,000 available and the H3 offers $3,000, but with the starting MSRP for the H2 hovering above $50,000, anyone buying a Hummer probably doesn’t badly need a couple thousand off. (Then again, a couple extra thousand dollars never hurts.) The H3 was a big hit for Hummer just a year ago, but has seen sales slump a bit, leading to the relatively high cash-back here.

The Cadillac DTS has $3,000 cash back off a starting MSRP of around $46,000. Saab has seen surprising interest of late in its 9-3 sedan and 9-7X SUV and has yet to provide a deal on 2008 models beyond 5.9% financing for 36 months. All incentives expire April 30.

OnStar Adding Live Directions to Nav Systems

When GM rolled out turn-by-turn directions for navigation-less models, we were impressed with the thrifty idea even if the execution wasn’t pretty. Now the company is making the obvious leap to adding live operator-provided directions to models equipped with factory-installed navigation systems.

Yep, using Destination Download you’ll be able to call an OnStar operator and get them to send directions to your navigation screen instead of having to type them in yourself.

2008 Geneva Motor Show: Saab 9-X BioHybrid

• Looks like: Saab tried its hand at a Volvo C30-fighter
• Defining characteristics: Hybrid drivetrain with lithium-ion battery pack, movable spoiler and diffuser to aid aerodynamics, power-operated cargo floor, roof-mounted solar panel
• Ridiculous features: 21-inch wheels
• Chance of being mass-produced: It's plausible that the general shape of the car and its hybrid drivetrain could make it to production one day — if GM gives Saab the funds

Take a good look at this concept, Saab fans, as it's what the future may hold for the brand's small cars, according to the Swedish automaker. The two-door hatchback has a number of interesting features, including a hybrid drivetrain that's capable of running on E85 ethanol.

The 9-X BioHybrid features an evolution of the GM Hybrid System that incorporates a lithium-ion battery pack. Saab says the new system is better at storing energy and providing electric assist than is today's system. Working together with a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, the electric motor can provide supplementary power when accelerating, restart the engine from a stop and act as a generator when decelerating.

Saab Teases 9-1X Concept

The Geneva Motor Show is shaping up to be more exciting than most of the big shows in the U.S. this season. The latest news from overseas is this teaser image from Saab showing the shadowy silhouette of a car. What car is it? None other than the 9-1X concept, a premium compact car designed to compete with the Volvo C30 and Mini Cooper.

The image rests between the 9X Concept 9-4X Concept 9X concept we saw in Detroit and last year’s Aero X concept. Presumably, the 9-1X would share those same aggressive front ends. There are no— and we mean zero — hard facts on this car, but it could be just the thing to bring Saab aficionados back to the brand. We’ll know more in a few weeks.

Cadillac, Saab, Hummer Dealers Next to Consolidate

At an important convention of automotive dealers this weekend, GM chief executive Rick Wagoner said the company is stepping up efforts to consolidate its three luxury brands, Cadillac, Saab and Hummer. Much like recent moves to bring all remaining Pontiac, GMC and Buick dealers under one roof, this move would save GM money.

Unlike the Pontiac, GMC, Buick trio, the three luxury brands don’t really share the same platforms, and there wouldn’t be a cut in the number of models each offers.

We’re not sure how luxury shoppers, especially those interested in Saabs, will feel about going to a showroom sharing the floor with Hummer. The changes won’t happen swiftly; Wagoner pointed out that the Pontiac, GMC, Buick consolidation has taken roughly five years and still isn’t complete.

Saab 9-4X Concept Could Be Ready for 2009

The Saab 9-4X Biopower may be a concept, but it has the potential to become a real product. In short, this is the midsize SUV (or crossover) Saab fans wanted when they got the 9-7X instead. The 9-7X is based on the Chevrolet TrailBlazer. Saab says this is on a separate, all-new platform, and if it were to be made into a production model, it would be the first GM vehicle on that platform. If it hits the market, it would be at the end of 2009. (Car executives never rarely talk this way if the concept in question isn't likely.)

The 9-4X is a sharp-looking sport wagon that — apart from its pearlescent paint, which probably cost more than a 9-5 — looks like it's nearly showroom ready. The interior is another story, with its rich materials and outrageous detail.

Tech note: The drivetrain is significant not because it's flex-fuel — capable of running on E85 ethanol as well as gas — but because it's designed to better exploit the E85. Ethanol has less energy than an equal amount of gasoline, but it has higher octane. Most flex-fuel cars can give roughly the same power on E85 as on gas, but they burn more E85 to do so (which translates to lower mileage). The 9-4X's turbocharger allows for widely varied compression ratios, which can turn E85 into high-output performance. Ultimately this kind of engine will happen, but no one's saying it will do so in a real 9-4X ... if there is one.

2008 Detroit Auto Show: Saab 9-4X BioPower Concept

• Looks like: Saab said to parent GM: "Get us in the crossover game now!"
• Defining characteristics: Sleek lines, turbocharged four-cylinder that can run on E85, ski storage system
• Ridiculous features: Heated compartment for ski boots
• Chance of being mass-produced: Good, and this is just the kind of model the brand needs to round out its lineup

Even though it's a concept, the 9-4X looks ready to be on the lot of your local Saab dealership. We expect a production version to follow soon, and that's a good thing for the brand, which is desperately in need of a crossover SUV to take some market share in that exploding area of the industry.

The 9-4X's exterior styling is elegant and restrained. It has sleek body sides accented with pronounced fender flares that arch over 21-inch wheels and tires. There are also swooping creases in the body panels that echo the shape of the side windows. Around back, a portion of the taillights span the width of the vehicle in one uninterrupted band.

Inside, the four-seat cabin features a sliding storage system for skis and related equipment, with space for the skis to extend between the rear seats. A glass roof is also featured in the concept.

The 9-4X's 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is turbocharged — a technology used to boost power that Saab uses liberally in its passenger car lineup. The engine makes 300 hp and 295 pounds-feet of torque and can run on E85 ethanol. The engine works with a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels via the company's XWD all-wheel-drive system. Available in the 9-3 sport sedan, XWD incorporates an electronically controlled limited-slip differential that can vary power between the rear wheels.

All-Wheel-Drive Saab 9-3 Coming in 2008

This week, Saab brought its limited edition 2008 Turbo X to the U.S. auto show circuit in Boston. The all-black sedan and wagon are similar to any Saab 9-3, except the Turbo X comes with a higher power engine, performance upgrades and most importantly to car shoppers, Saab’s new all-wheel-drive system, called XWD. 

We didn’t want to report on this limited edition — only 600 of the Turbo X will come to the country, priced at $42,510 and $43,150 for the sedan and SportCombi wagon, respectively — until we had official confirmation on wider availability of AWD 9-3s.

GM has confirmed that folks who just want a regular 9-3 in any color will be able to get AWD this spring, but only on the upper-level Aero trim of either body style. No pricing has been announced for the optional AWD but expect it to be around a $2,000 premium. 2008 9-3 sedans and SportCombis start at $34,670 and $35,770, respectively. 

All-wheel drive will hit the full 9-3 range for the 2009 model year.

GM Red Tag Sale Returns

It's the most wonderful time of the year — the time when consumers brave long lines and early-morning frost, all in the name of discount holiday gifts.

GM is hoping that festive consumerist spirit extends to its vehicles. The automaker just released details of its annual Red Tag Sales Event, which comes bearing gifts of increased cash-back and financing incentives on a variety of models. The offers range from 0.0% financing for 60 months on all 2007 GMC and Chevrolet models — including the popular GMC Acadia — to hefty cash-back bonuses perfect for shoppers looking to save some extra holiday cash right away. To lock in 0.0% financing on a 2007 Chevy HHR or save $2,000 on a 2007 Saturn Aura Hybrid, buyers will have to get to dealers before the sale expires Jan. 2. 

To locate GM's offers in your area, search the Red Tag Sales Event site here, or check out Cars.com's full list of national offers for all of GM's and other brands' latest incentives.

XM Now Standard on all 2008 Buicks, Hummers, Saabs

GM has already made XM Satellite Radio standard on all Cadillac models, and now it’s adding it to other premium brands, including Buick, Hummer and Saab. All new 2008 models will get XM equipment standard, along with a free three-month trial subscription. Subscription rates start around $12 per month, but if a proposed XM/Sirius merger goes through there will be more affordable options starting around $8 a month.

XM is also standard in these models: the all-new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Silverado, Tahoe, Cobalt, Corvette and Impala; Saturn Vue, Outlook, Aura and Sky; GMC Acadia, Yukon and Sierra; and the Pontiac G5 and Solstice, among others.

Some SUVs Don't Hold Up in Side Crash Tests

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s latest round of crash tests focused on midsize SUVs, and most of the vehicles tested didn’t do nearly as well as sedans and similarly sized crossover SUVs. The results will no doubt spark more debate among the bigger-is-safer and the get-your-land-yachts-off-the-road segments of the population.

The common thought is that the bigger the vehicle you’re in, the safer you are in an accident. There have been various studies to back that up that compare the number of road casualties to the types of vehicles involved. What IIHS discovered is that many popular midsize SUVs, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Xterra, Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Saab 9-7X, rate Marginal side-impact scores. The two Nissan's did earn Good scores when equipped with optianl side airbags. The others came standard with side airbags. Most of the SUVs tested also didn’t do well in rear crash tests, and none earned a Top Safety Pick award from IIHS.

Interestingly enough, the vehicles tested were truck-based. Car-based crossover SUVs, including the Ford Edge, Subaru Tribeca and Honda Pilot, have gotten IIHS’ Top Safety Pick nod. Check out the full crash results below.

GM Extends Financing for 2006 Models

GM has beefed up its incentives programs, extending 0.0 APR financing offers on most models in its family — including Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Hummer, Pontiac, Saturn and Saab — to 60 months. The bad news is that the zero-percent-for-60-months-on-every-model offer only applies to 2006 models, which are often hard to find. On many of those models, GM has added an additional $1,000 cash bonus to those financing offers.

Customers also have the option of bigger cash rebates without the financing deal. Cash back ranges from $500 all the way up to the 2006 Cadllac STS’ ever-generous $9,000 offer. All offers expire Oct. 1.

2007 Frankfurt Auto Show: Saab Turbo X

• Competes with: Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS
• Looks like: Suspiciously similar to the Saab 9-3
• Drivetrain: 280-hp, turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6; all-wheel drive
• Hits dealerships: First half of 2008

We don’t mean to confuse you — though perhaps that’s Saab’s aim — but the Turbo X is none other than a limited edition of the company’s recently updated 9-3 sedan. The big difference is that the Turbo X is the first application of Saab’s new all-wheel-drive system that they’re naming — so originally — XWD. This setup was designed by Saab in Sweden and differs from the all-wheel-drive system used in models like the recently discontinued 9-2X and the current 9-7X.

The Turbo X will be a limited-edition model, all in black, but an all-wheel-drive option will become available on the regular 9-3 at roughly the same time in 2008. The Turbo X also gets a sport-tuned chassis and a rear limited slip differential that drivers can control.

The limited run of the Turbo X will come only in black with unique wheels and more aerodynamic body panels. GM says the Turbo X is available for order, but you can check out more images below right now.

First Drive: 2008 Saab 9-3, Saab 9-7X Aero

Saab surprised us at last week’s event, not with tremendous new offerings, but with slightly altered versions of existing models. Even more surprising was the fact that we were impressed by the cosmetically altered 9-3 sedan and wagon, and not so much by the powerful V-8 engine that was added to the new 9-7X Aero SUV.

2008 Saab 9-3

The 9-3’s svelte exterior and Euro-cockpit dashboard are all business, with plenty of straightforward controls and, improbably, an SUV-sized glove compartment. GM had a couple versions to test out; even with the base turbo four-cylinder and an automatic, the car moves about as quickly as an Acura TSX. The SportCombi wagon with the turbo V-6 and a manual transmission proved entertainingly quick, though the stick shift is a bit clunky for an entry-luxury car. Then again, you can’t have everything when your car starts five grand less than most competitors. — Kelsey Mays, Cars.com reviewer                     

Ch-Ch-Changes: 2008 Saab's 390 hp 9-7X Aero

In the latest instance of answering questions that nobody asked, GM has announced a high-powered version of its slow selling Saab 9-7X SUV. For 2008, Saab will offer a 9-7X Aero with the much-lauded 6-liter small-block V-8 from the Corvette, for the shopper out there who might be looking for such a thing. The problem is, there aren’t many shoppers for the Saab 9-7X period, let alone one that guzzles even more gas in today’s mileage conscious world.

The 9-7X is by far the worst selling GM SUV on the market. It managed to sell just 558 units last month. The more expensive, and more loathed by the public, Hummer H2 sold 825 units.

Will a high performance version of the 9-7X — which itself is little more than a Chevy Trailblazer disguised as a Saab — priced at $44,945 (not including $745 destination) help the flagging brand? We’ll have to wait until it hits dealers this fall to see if anyone’s buying.

2008 Saab 9-3 Sedan, SportCombi, Convertible Revealed

Last month we got a glimpse of the new Saab 9-3. Now, the Swedish automaker has revealed a slew of new images of all three models (a full gallery is linked below) in advance of a late-summer on-sale date. The biggest change is a more aggressive front end, centered around a new grille that’s based on the futuristic Aero X concept from last year’s auto show circuit. Check out the huge trapezoids around those fog lights!

Around back, the sedan and convertible have new, darkly outlined taillights that are unique/unusual depending on your taste. The sedan and SportCombi also sport new doors and body-colored door handles. There are also new wheels. Most remains the same inside, except the color palette has gotten darker, changing from gray to black.

Under the hood, the V-6 turbo gets a boost of power, to 255 hp from 250 hp. The base turbo four-cylinder remains the same; it’s still rated at 210 hp. 2008 mileage figures were not released. A revised all-wheel-drive system will be available later this year called XWD. The V-6 turbo in the Aero XWD models will get 280 hp.

Updated: The new 9-3 line will be in showrooms this September with the 9-3 Aero XWD arriving in calendar year 2008.

2008 Saab 9-3 Gets Aero X Face-Lift

It seems everyone loved last year’s Saab Aero X concept car so much that the company is adding elements of its design to current products, including the 2008 9-3 lineup. The Saab 9-3 sedan, wagon — called the SportCombi — and convertible will all receive the new, aggressive front-end treatment along with minor door and rear-end tweaks.

The new 9-3s go on sale this fall. The company says there will be improved performance but has offered no details of what’s changed underneath the skin.

Look Mom, No Gas: 100% BioEthanol Saab Concept

Today, GM announced its first BioEthanol concept, the Saab BioPower 100. It’s a Saab 9-5 SportCombi wagon that features a 2.0-liter turbo engine that runs on E100 — 100% ethanol. Currently, many manufacturers produce flex-fuel vehicles that run on E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% regular gasoline. This concept gets rid of even that small percent of gas.

All that ethanol means the octane level is incredibly high. The small turbo engine produces a whopping 300 hp and 295 pounds-feet of torque and hustles to 62 mph in 6.6 seconds. The idea of running a car on ethanol has always appealed to us because of the possible performance aspect. Currently, the infrastructure isn’t in place to support a massive switch to ethanol-powered vehicles, and the cost per gallon of E85 is still quite high. Add that to the lower fuel economy the E100 would get, and we better see a lot more sorghum farms and ethanol refineries popping up to make it affordable. It seems car companies can build nice performance cars that run on alternative fuels; now alternative fuel production needs to catch up.

2006 L.A. Auto Show: Saab 60th Anniversary 9-3 and 9-5

The L.A. Auto Show kicks off tomorrow with a slew of all-new models most people haven’t seen before. Actually, it kicks off here on KickingTires tonight at midnight EST, but we digress. Today, GM is giving us some special editions to whet our appetite for the big reveals tomorrow, starting with Saab’s 60th Anniversary 9-3 sedan, SportCombi and convertible, plus its 9-5 sedan and SportCombi.

All the special editions get an Ice Blue metallic paint job, unique 17-inch alloy wheels, embossed black leather seats and dark walnut trim. They’re also loaded with options, like a six-disc CD changer, parking assistance and more, as a way to entice buyers. Unlike almost everything else we’ll be covering over the next few days, GM provided prices for all the 60th Anniversary Editions. The package is an $1,825 option on the 9-3 lineup and $1,595 on the 9-5 lineup.

Get 'Em While They Exist: 2006 Models That Will Be No More

It’s the end of the model year, and some vehicles just didn’t make the cut for 2007. That doesn’t necessarily make them bad cars; we guess you would just call them underappreciated. Here’s our list of 2006 models you can buy brand new today that will be gone tomorrow (or when they sell out). Some of 'em even have significant cash back.

Acura RSX: The sporty two-door is the last coupe in Acura’s lineup to say goodbye. As fine a car as it was, the RSX just couldn’t compete with Honda’s new Civic Si in the performance versus value equation. We couldn’t uncover any cash back for the RSX.

GM Announces 100,000 mile/5-Year Powertrain Warranty

The warranty wars are heating up. Two months after Ford amplified its powertrain warranty to five years or 60,000 miles, GM announced today that it would extend its own powertrain warranty to five years or 100,000 miles across its entire line of 2007 models. That includes Cadillac, Hummer, Saab, Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC and Buick, and is retroactive for anyone who has already purchased a 2007 vehicle.

Powertrain warranties cover the engine, transmission, transfer case and drive assemblies. GM’s bumper-to-bumper limited warranty remains unchanged. The news will be heralded in a new series of commercials kicking off during tomorrow night’s NFL season opening game. The commercials feature drivers stuck in traffic, with those in GM vehicles magically floating and passing all those stuck in the gridlock below. We’re not sure about flying cars, but any increase in warranty length is a good thing for consumers.

GM Bringing Labor Day Bonus Cash

Personally, we take Labor Day off. We fire up the grill, throw on some ribs, and kick back and watch a ball game on TV. But in the car business, this is a major work holiday. There are countless local sales with extended hours at dealerships, and the auto manufacturers are joining the party. GM today announced it would offer between $500 and $1,500 on 2006 and 2007 models through Sept. 5. This cash-back offer is on top of current incentives.

The sale breaks down like this: $500 bonus cash on cars, $1,000 on pickups and car-based SUVS, and $1,500 on truck-based SUVs.

The Pontiac Solstice; Saturn Sky, Aura and Vue Green Line; Chevrolet Corvette; 2007 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL Denali; Hummer H1; and 2007 Cadillac Escalade are all excluded from the sale.

Ford, Chrysler and Nissan have already announced similar holiday sales events.

Seamless iPod Integration for Ford, GM and Mazda

Apple announced it will join forces with Ford, GM and Mazda to create a new integration system for more than 70% of those manufacturers' 2007 models. For Mazda, that means its entire 2007 lineup will offer the system. Ford and GM (both of which already have 2007s on lots) will start offering the system later this year in most of their vehicles.

The system will work from the glove compartment and will not only allow users to access their playlists from the standard radio controls, but will also charge the iPod at the same time. From the press release, it sounds like artist and song titles will also be viewable as long as the car’s radio can show text. Some aftermarket companies offer similar systems.

There's no word on cost yet, but it sounds like this will be a dealer-installed option.

GM Unveils 2007 Lineup

General Motors — the puppeteer behind Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer and Saab — has taken the wraps off its entire 2007 lineup. Most redesigned or all-new vehicles, like the Saturn Sky and Chevrolet Tahoe, have been uncovered for months. As for the rest, here are some highlights:

• GM’s minivans, which include the Chevrolet Uplander, Buick Terraza and Saturn Relay, add much-needed oomph with a standard 240-hp V-6. Consumers thankfully voted last year’s underwhelming 201-hp V-6 out of office. Also heading home is Pontiac’s related Montana SV6, whose slow sales and asinine name foretold its end months ago.

New GM Incentives

We guess General Motors isn’t going to stick to its guns about not discounting new models as much as in 2005. Today the company will roll out a slew of new — and somewhat confusing — incentives for the Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Saab and Saturn brands. Cadillac and Hummer already have 0% financing deals in place. All programs will run through Sept. 5.

The confusing part for buyers will be unique advertising and incentive campaigns for each nameplate. GM is trying to emphasize its unique brands even in how incentives are dealt out. Yes, it will be annoying and even more confusing for buyers. Along with extensive 0% financing for 36 and 60 months on most 2006 GM models, Saturn is running a 10%-off-the-sticker-price option. When a full list of specific incentives for all GM brands is released we'll post them here.

[GM Touts Sweeter Financing Deals, Detroit News]

GM Extends Some 0% Incentives

We’re not sure how the accountants at GM are coming up with their incentive deals, but some of the 0% financing offers from the company’s recent "72 Hour Sale" are back, through July 18. From the company’s own site, no Pontiacs or Saabs fall under the 0% plan, nor do most Chevrolets or Buicks. Check out Cars.com's full list of incentives for GM and other brands here. The real surprise is that Cadillac and Hummer are the two brands continuing to offer 0% on all models and that they're extending the offer through September 5.

How Good is GM's 0% Deal?

If you were watching TV last night you probably saw one of GM’s new 72 Hour Sale commercials touting the 0%-down-for-six-years deal we told you about yesterday. We were wondering why it’s called the 72 Hour Sale when it runs from now through July 5th. But you were probably wondering how much 0% payments would cost you every month.

Cars.com has a handy calculator for loan payments attached to every price page. So when you go to the Research section and look up a 2006 GM vehicle, simply click the tab that says “Prices, Payments, Rebates” and scroll down to the handy calculator shown here.

We whipped one up for the base price of a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt, $12,400, with 0% financing for 72 months. The result is $172.22 a month. Or for the more adventurous, a new Pontiac GTO at $31,290 will ding your paycheck $434.58 a month. Don’t mind any mentions of other rebates that might be posted on these pages, we didn’t have time to add this last-second sale to our system.

GM Announces 0% on Most Models

Start your engines — the first “official” word on summer pricing will come today from GM. Don’t believe your local nightly news; this isn’t the free-for-all you’ve been led to believe, but it is a good deal. Starting June 29 and continuing through July 5, GM will offer 0% financing for six years on most 2006 Chevrolet, GMC, Saturn, Pontiac and Buick models. Cadillac, Hummer and Saab 2006 models will see 0% for five-year terms.

The 0% offer will also be available for three-year terms on relatively successful new SUVs like the 2007 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche and GMC Yukon XL.

The only exclusions seem to be the Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Solstice, Pontiac G6 convertible, Hummer H1 and medium-duty trucks. We’re surprised not to see the Saturn Sky mentioned in that group. No deals from Chrysler or Ford have been announced or reported in this much detail, but expect a significant sale from Chrysler during this same period.
