Saab has lopped the top off its 9-X show car to produce this – the new 9-X Air concept revealed today. No prizes for guessing that the aptly named Air is a convertible version of Saab's 9-X wannabe executive hatchback. The future 9-1 cabrio, in other words.

The 9-X hatchback was shown at the 2008 Geneva motor show to preview Saab's new 9-1 hatchback family due in 2010. It's been a long time coming, but the Swedes will finally gain a proper rival for downsizers who'd otherwise consider other premium tots such as the BMW 1-series or Audi A3.
