To the untrained eye, they dont look anything alike. Look back at the origional pics on page 1. Dont look at the window lines or the roof line. SAAB buyers are not looking at mid 20,000 subarus. They wont know the difference. Dont know what to say bout' the interior, kinda like it, kinda hate it. Anyhoo if it is WRX I CAN NOT, NOT like it. That double neg dosnt cancel out.

But then again, look at the 9-5, and the old 9-3, both designed by Saab w/o GM. GREAT CARS, espec. the 9-5, and the 9-3 viggen (see my post in car talk or w/e)

^^disagree... IMO, it looks much better than the current version (04+) wagons. Still, the thought that GM is selling an AWD saab, that isnt a saab, but really a subaru really urks me

Personally I dont like it. But from my understanding it comes with a 6 speed. All this means for the subaru community... good motors with good transmisions in cars that will get crashed by owners who didnt realize that they could have just bought a wrx.
Sure most owners will realize what it is, and want it for what it is instead of a wrx, but there WILL be people dont dont, and my 2.5rs is just begging for an ej20 6 speed :-D

I love GM!!!!!! The only cars in our family thst are NOT GM are the WRX and my mom's Jaugar XKR. I love GM, they created my Buick Grand Naitonal. THE TURBO BUICKS will WHOOP THE **** out out of the *****. I own both, I know. Watch out, and DO NOT call them Monte Carlo's. you are a ****et if you do.

I agree that many of the older GM cars, and a few of the newer ones are kick ***...I just REALLY do not agree with their buisness practices. THey are distryoying a brand here! There current cars also suck *** for the MOST PART! (not saying all of them are)
So basically I wouldnt have a problem with GM (Our family owns a Suburban) if they changed their buisness practices.

I think it's gorgeous...I think saab makes good looking cars these days...they handle petty well...and yeah I'd throw those side skirts on my car.
But I hate that people do this with cars...just throw a new face on the same car and charge way more....but it's been working for years for manufacturers so it's not gonna change. The Hummer H2 is a stinking deisel tahoe. Toyota to Lexus....tahoe to caddy...etc....etc.....
It might do saab well cause they'll have a car that doesn't fall apart in 2 years. I'd never buy a saab...least not one that isn't a subaru......they are notorious for having many many problems..including turbo failer. Bad head gaskets. Oil leaks. Bad electrics....etc....they are very pretty junk as far as I'm concerned.

I want that center trim piece around the lighter.
"Nice mod to that center console dude, how'd you do it?"
"Ripped it out of a saab"
"!!!"
I wonder if i can graft that front end on the 02' wagon, that would be hilarious, a WRB Saaburu with P1's and S0-3's with a subaru windshield banner, talk about identity crisis! (with the Saab-uru lettering on the trunk, WR-9X^2)

I am offended about the GNX comment. I own a Grand National and it isnt ugly and it dosnt look anything like a delta 88. If you got a Grand National confused, it would have been with a Monte Carlo SS. Think of it this way, you pull up in an STi and someone is like nice impreza L.
