2011 Saab 9-4X Photos Leak, Looks Like a GM Crossover

Although Saab’s first foray into the people-hauler segment?a Saab-badged Chevy TrailBlazer SUV called the 9-7X?is most memorable for being a punchline, the embattled company is finally ready to launch a far more serious product as its second salvo, the 9-4X crossover. This picture?posted on SaabsUnited.com, where you’ll also find a rear shot?shows a pre-production [...]

2011 Chevrolet Montana compact truck unveiled in South America

Filed under: Truck, Chevrolet, South America

2011 Chevrolet Montana - Click above for high-res image gallery

Say hullo to this little truck: It's the 2011 Chevrolet Montana and it might just make its way up from South America into U.S. dealer showrooms. It's a small two-door, two-passenger ute that rides on the same platform as the Brazilian Chevy Agile, a hatchback city car.

According to Mike Levine over at PickupTrucks.com, General Motors has no successor planned for the U.S.-version of the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon twins. This car-based, front-wheel-drive trucklet could provide a nice stepping stone into its family of larger pickups. The engine would likely have to be beefed up for this market, since potential truck shoppers might be scared off by the Montana's 1.4-liter four-cylinder (it's good for 97 horsepower, 95 pound-feet of torque, and 30 miles per gallon on the highway). Despite its modest power numbers, the Chevy Montana is capable of hauling 1,671 pounds in the rear cargo area - a number comparable to the payload ratings of several full-size pickups.

Is North America ready for a pint-sized, front-wheel drive truck? That's a tough call, especially one with such Aveo-like unique styling. The 2011 Chevrolet Montana might not arrive in the form you see above (and in the gallery), but it could provide a glimpse at what's waiting down the road.

Hanninen certain to clinch IRC title

Juho Hanninen has effectively clinched the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge title after Skoda decided not to enter his team-mate and last remaining championship rival Jan Kopecky for the next round in Scotland. Under the IRC scoring system, drivers only count their best seven results from the 12-round season, and Kopecky had to win both Scotland and Cyprus to have any hope of beating Hanninen. With this considered unlikely given form so far this year, Skoda has opted to guarantee Hanninen the crown by only entering the Finn for the Scottish event on 15-17 October
