Saab will cease production of their short-lived 9-7X SUV next year because of lackluster sales. The 9-7X shares underpinnings with the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and both are built in GM's Moraine, Ohio plant. The TrailBlazer is also in death row as Chevrolet prepares to welcome its successor, which will share underpinnings with the Saturn Outlook. The 9-7X will be replaced by the 9-4X crossover, which will sit on GM's Theta architecure.The 9-7X was shortly available in Europe by approved importers. The 9-7X was never intended to be marketed outside North America. The deletion of the 9-7X and the TrailBlazer will cease the aged GMT-360 platform as a whole. The demise of the GMT-360 comes the coveted Lambda platform, which is already gaining praises from both the media and the consumers. The Lambda platform underpins the Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia and the Buick Enclave as of currently.
