			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.automobilereviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/2008-saab-9-7x-5-3i-suv-review.jpg" alt="2008 Saab 9-7x 5.3i SUV Review" align="left" />The new <em>2008 Saab 9-7x 5.3i SUV</em> is a vehicle that combines technology, safety and durability with its ability to ride off-pavement surfaces.  Its 5.3-liter, Active Fuel Management 8-cylinder engine produces 300-horse power, with a rating from the Society of Automotive Engineers.  The vehicle also uses a four-speed automatic transmission and the Saab-tuned Sport Chassis, which includes lower stance, firmer springs and stiffer shock absorbers are tuned to help provide better cornering, acceleration, and braking.</p>
<p>The all-wheel drive system, important in taking the road off the beaten path, distributes the vehicle’s weight between the front and rear wheels.  This system is designed to adjust seamlessly to help hold the road around tight curves or in unforgiving driving climates.  AWD also helps with traction.</p>
<p>Features that make the &#8216;08 9-7x 5.3i SUV a hard vehicle to look away from include 18-inch, six-spoke alloy wheels, integrated roof rails and a body-colored grille and bumpers.  Other features that contribute to practicality in this model include integral front fog lamps and headlamp washers.</p>
<p>Inside, French stream contrast stitching and a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with audio controls give this Saab style, and additional comfort is provided with dual-zone automatic climate control and eight-way power, heated front seats with lumbar support.</p>
<p>If safety is a priority, look no further than this Saab SUV.  Standard features include head curtain side airbags, OnStar, anti-lock brakes and tire-pressure monitoring, which alerts when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating warning light on the instrument panel. The low tire pressure warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected.</p>
<p>The 2008 Saab 9-7x 5.3i SUV is safe, reliable and affordable, making it an SUV that will attract many buyers this year.</p>

Also included in the 9-3 2.0T Convertible, showing that its sleek and sporty design still keeps the family in mind, are child seat top-tether anchors for the rear seats, using the LATCH system.</p>
<p>Aerodynamic headlamps, 16-inch, 14-spoke alloy wheels and body-color-matched surround trim make the 9-3 2.0T Convertible more attractive, while features like 6-jet high-pressure windshield washers and optional Xenon cornering headlamps add to practicality in this vehicle.</p>
<p>Entertainment comes in abundance in this Saab.  For example, the audio system includes seven speakers and a CD player and satellite radio, rear mast antenna and MP3 playback capabilities.

DVD navigation, which provides turn-by-turn guidance and directions to points of interest, also is available.

Those are just some of the traits contained in the new <em>2008 Saab 9-7x Aero SUV</em>.  The model contains several features offering convenience, technology and safety, and a mind-easing feature is the PASSLock theft-deterrent system, which shuts down the ignition and fuel system for several minutes if vehicle tampering is detected.</p>
<p>Equipped with a 6-liter, V8 engine that generates 390-horse power, this &#8216;08 Saab SUV has impressive performance.  With that, its automatic all-wheel drive system, which is standard, distributes power between the front and rear wheels.  The 9-7x Aero also uses a 4-speed automatic transmission and limited slip rear differential, which is designed to help reduce the risk of rear wheel-spin, by helping to provide maximum traction on both rear wheels.</p>
<p>Integrated roof rails, body-colored grille and bumpers and 20-inch, polished aluminum wheels with V-speed rated performance all-season tires makes this model both appealing and convenient.</p>
<p>Interior comfort is provided with both dual-zone automatic climate control and aero-embroidered leather-appointed seats.  There’s also French seam contrast stitching and a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with mounted audio controls.  If safety is your concern, worry not.  The 9-7x Aero SUV comes standard with the OnStar package, head curtain side airbags and also protection for front occupants.  Tire-pressure monitoring also is standard, and children are protected from impact with the LATCH system, which includes lower child seat anchorage points.</p>
<p>A center console mounted ignition adds even more to convenience, as its smart placement – instead of the steering column – helps to avoid the driver’s knees coming in contact with the keyring.</p>
<p>The new 2008 Saab 9-7x Aero SUV is practical, powerful and secure, and those looking for vehicle with both safety and style will not have to shop any further than this model.</p>

<p>Working on the exterior appearance of the &#8216;08 9-3 Aero SportCombi are features like 17-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels, Xenon cornering headlamps, dual bright-finish exhaust tailpipes, and a rear matte chrome décor strip.</p>
<p>It will be hard for passengers to be bored while riding in this model.  Entertainment is provided with the 9-3 Aero SportCombi’s Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound System, which comes standard.  Also included are a 6-disc in-dash CD player, satellite radio and MP3 playback capability.  A DVD-based navigation system also is available.</p>
<p>Safety is found throughout this model, with standard features like airbags protecting from front and side impact.  As sleek as the 9-3 Aero SportCombi is, the family was kept in mind during the design process.  This Saab includes LATCH, which has child-seat top-tether anchors in the rear seats.</p>
<p>The new 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero SportCombi is a combination of power, security and technology, and seems to have something to appeal to everyone in the market.</p>
