Suzuki’s iK-2 Concept will transition into a production B-segment hatchback rather sooner than later. However, photoshop manipulator Theophilus Chin noticed that the Japanese study looks similar to some of Saab’s last concepts before bankruptcy.

With that in mind, he set out to rebrand the Suzuki iK-2 into a purely hypothetical Saab 9-1 premium subcompact hatchback, and the result is quite intriguing.

By adding Saab styling cues like the grille, brand logo and slightly revised headlights, the study looks as if it were a Saab all along.

So there you have it, the Saab 9-1 that never was actually exists in a parallel digital universe and it looks quite nice. Good job, Suzuki!
