Of course, embargoes do break, and when they do, it's often with gratuitous press shots and complete information. But the newest Saab doesn't seem like it's prone to such tomfoolery - GM seems to be managing its release very smoothly. First the teaser sketch that happened to be left lying about as some journalists tour a design studio, then the first teaser image - just wait a few days and see if more don't follow.
With all the hype GM is obviously trying to build around the new 9-1x, we hope it's worthy. It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a vehicle that wasn't expected. But the disappointment that accompanies the anti-climactic reveal of a heavily hyped and ultimately unexciting car is something we've come to know all to well.
For more background on the 9-1 concept and platform - including a possible hybrid - read our previous coverage. For the latest sketch of the supposed 9-1x, check out our story from Wednesday.
