One of my favorite concept cars at the North American International Auto Show was the Saab Aero X. Its gull wing doors, turbine wheels and aerodynamic design is an homage to Saab’s airplane heritage. I had the opportunity to speak with Brian Nesbitt, executive director of GME Design and talk with him about the car.

Reporter’s Notes: We must be making quite an impression on the large automakers with our content here on The Next Gear. So much so that GM invited us for an all expense paid trip to Detroit to cover the North American International Auto Show. While there, they wined and dined us and gave us unprecedented access to designers, high level corporate bigwigs and company spokespeople, yet with no requirement that we publish anything about them, only that we disclose this enticement. It was an opportunity we are happy to share with you, our audience. I encourage you to leave your feedback!
