Only caught a glimpse in the Bridgestone ad (the squirrel, and all the other animals screaming), but it looked like a TSX. Or maybe it was another ad..... Anyone else know yay or nay?

Specifically a 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero, pretty good looking car.

It was funny. It was particularly popular with the ladies in the room. Talking (screaming) animals seems to be a sure fire way to nail the female demographic.

Edit: Er, nevermind the accidental pun.

A guy over on a Saab board who works for Bridgestone selected the car for the commercial, it's just an Aero. Turbo X is also known as the "Black Turbo" here's a pic...

Article actually mentions Saab XWD isn't as sophisticated as SH-AWD

Luke 1, David 0. Yep, but the 9 yo girl in the room liked the Sobe one best.

Checked it at the Myspace page for the ads. Though they really disguised the car in that one, nope, not a TSX as far's I can tell.

Or course, I have a silver (bullet) TSX, so a lot of other cars look faintly like it on first blink. (shrug)

When I used to drive a Saab, I noticed that the windshield was more angled than it usually is in other cars. I kinda liked it after a while.
