New (used) dd So after 3 cars in the past few years, I finally found one worth keeping for a while with the g8. Add in seeing what one winter did to it, and me driving about 75 miles per day for work it was time to find something to drive in shitty weather and to work.
I was weighting between suv for winter, taking the dog around, and home depot trips or a small fwd car for better mileage and decent winter performance.
After stupid lowball offers being placed on 6 or so cars, the choice was made for me when a dealer called me back after about 2 weeks and decided they wanted to sell this car.
06 Saab 9-7x, awd, leather, 5.3 v8, power, moonroof etc.. (yes it's a fancy trailblazer)
Sorry for the shitty pics, it's been raining forever here.
So far wired in a 3.5mm jack, changed all the drivetrain fluids and cleaned and painted/undercoated the underside.
Nothing major planned for now, might get a cat back for it only because the previous owner cobbled some **** together under there for unknown reasons.

You will like it. I was looking for a daily driver that could tow and ended up buying an Envoy (4.2 I6 with the G80 locker and 373's). But if I had to do it again I would probably have taken a better look at those. Other than the typically saab (ness) of it (which is love or hate) I think the fit and finish is just a little bit better than all the other GMT360's.
The 5.3 is a great compromise compared to the Aero (Ls2, the real TBSS conterpart). The 5.3 gets the same mpg as the I6, but with a lot more torque. The saab for a D/D also handles the best without going to a sport setup. Like I said coming from an Envoy I think I would digg the saab better, plus with the same options the Saab is cheaper and in many ways better than others in the same platform when looking for used car deals.
