The magazine made the point that the Nomad resembles the 9-x concept, only smaller, and would look good as a Saab when the front clip is changed. One problem many Saab loyalists will have is that the Nomad is based on the RWD Kappa platform, while traditionally Saabs have had FWD. Of course with cars like the 9-2x and 9-7x coming out, this probably won't make much of a difference.
I'm not sure how much I buy into the rumors of Saab making a version of the Nomad with only minor stylistic changes. However, I do believe they will come out with some kind of Kappa based car, probably a modern-day Sonnet. I have a feeling that any Kappa-based car Saab gets will almost certainly have more Saab character than the 9-2x or 9-7x.
But it would not be a Nomad. The styling is classic Chevy.
I do hope the Nomad gets made. I could buy a Solstice for sunny days, and the Nomad for everything else. What a garage that would be.
Nomad and Chrysler's ME 4-12 are the only two show-stoppers from Detroit for me...
maybe even the dodge magnum.
Picture something you would want to load up with your surfboards or skis and take a major road trip in!
I REALLY like the front end of the Nomad concept a lot, but I really think it would be more appealing with a longer wheelbase and a larger cargo area - like the original Nomad.
I would love to see it happen.
They told me that it WILL be produced in two years (Solstice is next year, Nomad will follow after that. The Saturn Curve is still "just a concept")
I very much like the styling on the Nomad, but two years is too long of a wait for me (I want it now!) and I doubt I'll still be in the market for something at that time. But then only time will tell. Hopefully the production styling will remain true to the concept, along with the turbocharger on the engine to keep it sporty.
C'mon, Chevy, you gonna let Ford hog the limelight all by itself? huh? huh? I dare ya!!
