Saab Aero X: Blackbird

Posted on April 11, 2007 Under Design


When Josh, Aron, and I took our class trip to Detroit back in January for the North American International Auto Show— which just so happens to be the largest auto show in the world– it was an overwhelming consensus that the best in show was the Saab Aero X. That’s saying a lot considering the competition. We shared our up close and personal Aero X experience with you then, as we mourned over the fact that we’ll most likely never see this car hit the streets. Suffice to say, our words about the Aero X– as poetic as they may have been– don’t hold a candle to the way Joseph Kosinski has captured the essence of the jet-inspired auto with his “Blackbird” commercial. I don’t know what else to say besides “watch it” and “shame on you GM for teasing us like this.”
