Saab put up the image above on its media site announcing what we already knew: the Saab 9-1X concept is coming to Geneva and it's going to take all the right cues from its bigger brothers. Although the head-on shot gives us some clues about the concept's wide stance and aggressive snout, what we really want to know is how the designers have shaped the rear hatch. While it's assumed that a sloping rear roofline will terminate into a bulbous back end, we've heard rumors that a large overhang will be fitted at the top of the roof to give a sort of reverse-ducktail. The Geneva Motor Show is fast approaching and we're looking forward to seeing how Saab plans to do battle with the Audi A3 and Volvo C30.

If it ends up being the one on the right, WOW.

^ Umm...the cars on the left and the right are just previous concepts. The one on the left is the 9X concept, and the one on the right is the Aero X. The one in the center is the 9-1X concept.

Oh. I thought those were photoshopped interpretations of the dark one. I have seen the Aero X concept in person... it's seriously awesome. If they draw from those design cues, then the 9-1X will be a big win.

Looks more like a super car than an A3/C30 competitor.

Well it's just the concept. I'm pretty sure whatever it looks like, they'll water it down for production.
