Update: After the jump you’ll find some photos. This MIGHT be the first 9-4x at an owners driveway in history. The first of many to come! / Carl-Henrik
I think mdreuben deserves a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!! from the whole SU team for being the first 9-4x owner. At least the first we have notice from.
This is what he said in a comment he wrote here earlier today:
Just got my 9-4x.
I had a Premium on order, but the dealer (Saab in North Olmsted Ohio) received their first one yesterday – a black Aero, fully loaded. I put my butt into the seat, looked around and bought it on the spot before even driving it. Picked it up an hour or so ago.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
I think Cleveland, Ohio is now at least twice as interesting 😉
So far everything I’ve discovered on this car is pure Saab – purposeful & well designed.
Totally blown away.
Awesome, great news, send some photos.
There’s the photos, very nice….. very, very nice
Oh yes it is. And this is the first of many to come… I hope! 🙂
The ball is rolling! Let’s Rock & Roll
Enjoy!
This is a great story for the weekend, Fantastic.
OMG! What a beautiful car! Stunning! Concratulations!
Looks great in black 🙂
Congrats for the purchase!
Congrats!!! Awesome indeed!
Drew Carey… Do the same as your fellow Clevelander… Get yourself a 9-4X and make Ohio even more interesting 🙂
Moon over Parma tonight 🙂
Cheers/Tom
what a stunning saab, black looks great. congrats!!
Congratulations on your gorgeous new Saab! Tell everyone you know about it!
So July 2011 will be the first month when we can add 9-4X numbers to the statistics… 🙂
Congratulations to your new car! Beautiful. Take it on a tour in your home city and just make other people jealous.. 🙂
What a nice car ! It’s going to be a big success !
Grats from Sweden!
Have Fun and let us know wat you do with your 9-4X!!
Congrats to mdreuben!
If I were him you’d all have to wait 24hours while I took her (him?) out for a full day driving expedition. Beautiful car and quote obviously a very very proud owner.
PS Is that a speck of dirt I see on the rear bumper? 😉
Congratulations on your new car!
It’s a beauty 🙂
omfg its gorgeous..
GIVE ME!
Congratulations!
Btw,
Is it wrong to use the old scania v8 phrase: KING OF THE ROAD?
😉
Wow looks stunning. Will get my Black Aero not before october here in germany.
I’m so excited for you! You have the first black Aero (not dark grey etc) we’ve ever seen in the metal– and it looks incredible. Huge thanks for posting on the site.
Also, there’s much more ridiculously good Saab news coming this week 🙂
Jeff, you TEASE!!!! 🙂

mdreuben
Can I come & live with you in Cleveland ohio…………,.,.Please!!
I’ll wash it everyday and whatever else you want me to do (within reason!!)
Congratulations ! Have safe fun.
Great move! Given the last few months that SAAB has had this is a great sight to see. You sir, are a true SAAB hero!
Congrats! It looks stunning! 🙂
Wow, what a beast. I wish you many safe and fun miles. Congratulations!
How can this company not survive? That’s the most beautiful SUV I’ve ever seen!
Looking good! Congrats 😉
Congrats on the Aero, it looks great. I just came from north shore saab in NY and they have a really nice white one, premium with nav.
I brought my wife to take a look at it, after several months of subtle hints and she fell in love with it. We are going to see if we can trade our current car in for it in the next couple of weeks. I have to say that seeing this car in person gives you a much different perspective, the attention to detail in the styling is fantastic.
Fantastic! 🙂 A lot congratulations!
This is a gorgeous vehicle. Given the chance, they will really boost sales, especially in North America. I look forward to seeing lots just like this one on the roads. Saab really needs to do a major PR push for these.
Congratulations to a fantastic car! 😀
Cheers from Sweden!
Two hours of driving so far today. I think I could live in this thing.
It is plenty big enough to sleep in, you can fit a small cooler bag in there (powered by the lighter socket), and there is ample room for storage.
I do not see the problem. It looks bigger than my other apartment.
🙂
So friggin’ awesome! Have fun! I envy you!
Maaarvellous car, pal. I hope you’ll enjoy it for a long time. If I win the lottery I swear I’l buy one for my wife (she says the 9-5 is too big for her).
Holy Hell! That is one gorgeous vehicle! Black looks great on it. Congratulations!
Wow,
this post has found its way to vwvortex.com (The Volkswagen enthusiast website).
Haven’t seen it IRL in Black before. It looks da**n outraageos. M
Wow! Gorgeous… and so Shiny! Do post some more photos and reviews of the car. We’re all very happy and jealous for you 🙂
Like I said on SaabCentral, it’s absolutely gorgeous, esp. in black !!! Congrats, dude !
Congratulations. I was at our dealer for service on Friday. I was Hoping to get a picture Or two of our 9-7 in relation To a 9-4x for size comparisons but the were still awaiting deliveries. Of course I was in and out before 9am.
Beautiful! Congratulations!!!
Great job on being the first 9-4X owner on SU. It’s an awesome vehicle and will hopefully bring you years of happiiness. Now, when can I stop by for a test drive? Our local dealer won’t get the 9-4 until this fall.
Congratulations!! Great looking SUV!!!! Saab of North Olmsted is the the best – beautiful new building!!!
I just looked them up. They have some great deals on new Saabs–$7K off 9-3 convertibles, $6K off hard top 9-3s, $9K off 9-5s. People in the area should rush in to snatch up those gorgeous cars.
That’s grat news for consumers SaabMan……don’t even BEGIN to think it’s good news for Saab NA. One of the things that has Saab in the financial position it finds itself in today is more”Trunk Money” per car than any othe manufacturer in the business!
Congratulations…so happy for you! I hope to join the 9-4X owner’s club this next week. Enjoy your newest family member and thank you for supporting Saab! Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
No 9-4Xs in West Texas yet. I just checked the lot. Are you getting your 9-4X in Lubbock?
Unfortunately, no. Scoggin-Dickey said that they would not be ordering or receiving a 9-4X…and they seemed to question their future with Saab. Our 9-4X is coming from Gebhardt Saab of Boulder in Colorado…hopefully it’ll come in this next week!
A big congrats! I’m so jealous 😉
grat grat grat
beautiful car
i envy your beautiful car
Congrats!! Talk about an SUV that will truly stand out and a great way. I must imagine how nice it must be to drive down the road with that nice commanding view around you and still experience the elegant SAAB interior that we all know and love!
I Love it! Great Buy!! I want one to!!
great looking Saab,hope these sell well,if only there was a diesel.Congratulations anyway.
droooool…. beautiful car and congratulations it really stands out
Congratulations!
We still have to wait another 2 months at least until our ordered 9-4x Aero will arrive here in Switzerland. Does anyone know abiut the situation of the non available colors? We did order the beaty in grey….
Ordered mine first in cobalt grey too. But then the dealer called and said it wouldn’t be available for this year anymore. I switched to zodiak black then because i really want to get the car in september/october.
So far I did not get a call from my dealer here in Sitzerland. As it will not produced before September, maybe time is working for us and we just need to wait….
And also maybe you’ll get another call giving you the choice to change back to cobalt grey 😉
Since you ordered your Saab 9-4X in Europe it must be a MY2012, and then the original colours should be back. 🙂
As far as i know, my car was produced last week and in black. So i think the chance of getting back to cobalt grey isn’t there anymore. 😉 But i must say i really like the black one.
