As a follow-up from the first slide on the 11 Global Design Centers thanks to Bryan Nesbitt, I am providing another slide from his presentation that he showcased to the audience at the New England Auto Show back in November of 2007 on Saab Design.

This slide covers the Saab Brand component, the gear shifter. I tried to see if this looked anything like what we’ve seen in any of the concept cars such as the 9-X, 9-3X, 9-3 SportHatch, Aero-X, 9-4x BioPower & 9-X BioHybrid and it does not. I wonder if this will be seen in a future concept or production model? What are your thoughts on this gear shifter?

A very special thank you to Bryan Nesbitt as well as the staff at the GM Design Center in North America for sharing this material with us here. This presentation many of us enjoyed back at Boston was just too good to not share with the readers on Saab History. I hope this posting as well as the more I showcase here, provide some clarity in terms of where Saab Automobile’s design process takes place within General Motors, globally.
