The Saab 9-7X is a Saab - Branded Mid-size Luxury SUV based on the GM GMT Platform , which also includes the Chevrolet TrailBlazer (and for this the 9-7X has been given the Nickname " Troll blazer", even if it is not built in Trollhättan , Sweden, the traditional production town for Saabs), GMC Envoy , Buick Rainier , and the Isuzu Ascender . It is built on the same USA production line in Moraine, Ohio , using most of the same parts as its sister vehicles. With the exception of the Trailblazer SS and the Envoy Denali, it is the most expensive SUV out of GM's mid-size SUVs, and the most expensive Saab ever. The 9-7X is the first American-built Saab, and jointly replaced the Oldsmobile Bravada as the flagship GMT360 SUV. The car features substantial chassis revisions, including a 1 in (25.4 mm) lower ride and revised bushings and dampers, standard rear air suspension, and quicker steering to sharpen the handling. Inside, the design is inspired by the Saab 9-5 with features like the console-mounted ignition switch and swing-out cupholder retained. The idiosyncratic "night Panel" switch, which extinguishes all "unnecessary" dash lighting, is missing, however as well as the Saab active head restraints. It is unknown when the GMT360 -based 9-7X will be phased out, but 2010 is likely since the related TrailBlazer and Envoy will be phased out. Originally, its place in the Saab lineup was to be taken by the Subaru B9 Tribeca -based Saab 9-6X , but since GM has sold off their Subaru stock, the project has been cancelled. Instead, the spot will be taken by the Theta -based 9-4X for 2010. VARIANTS All 9-7Xs feature All-wheel Drive , leather seats, 18 in (45 cm) alloy wheels, and side-curtain Airbag s. Entertainment and convenience features include OnStar , XM Satellite Radio , a 6-CD Bose audio system, and either a Moonroof or a rear-seat DVD entertainment system. For 2006, those two options can be combined. Like other Saab models, there were two named variants in 2005.:
