When you see so much giant-grille, aggressive, I'm-coming-to-get-you, high-riding military styling on the roads, it's refreshing to see an SUV with a borrowed body that looks so good when treated to the understated Saab nose and lamp and fender treatment, with its stylized airplane at the center of the grille opening (Saab built airplanes long before it built cars). We think, as far as exterior Saabness, they have pulled it off beautifully, much more so than with the Buick Rainier. This is a luxury SUV much more in the vein of the understated Acura MDX than a chrome-grille Buick.

The rear end of the GMT 360 has been remade as a Saab with an extended, big-cornered rear bumper and cool Saab taillamps and graphics. Not to mention the tasty wheels, one style for the I6, another for the V8. It really does look like a Saab from the back.
