awwww. crap.
I bet they are going to sell the car for a whole lot more though. Doesnt it have some weirdo 5 cylinder in it or somthing? This is such the nonfat latte version of the wrx. Sure it looks better, but i think owning a fancy turtleneck sweater is also a prerequisite.

Hmmm, sound vaguely familiar? Not only did they copy the exterior and interior they also replicated the output. Sadly for less than a rex.

Bingo!Eh, let 'em have it. All it says to the rest of the turtleneck clad saab driving crowd is that the person driving it hasn't yet "arrived". Kinda the way a C series merc says the same.
That said, it does look ok for a clone!

...er eh...wait a minute...
The overview says inline 4, the article says
"The Saab 9-2X's advanced full-time all-wheel-drive and boxer four cylinder engines are firsts in Saab's history."
Talk about thinking inside the box!

good catch mugwumpj

well, you can't trash saab for trying to bolster their faltering lineup with a superior car, but who you can trash is GM for making the connection. I remember hearing that subaru was pissed that the whole saab thing was happening, but GM or someone was pulling the strings ultimately.
sheesh, the inside sure is nice....
dang.
