Saab 9-2X....0-60 in 6.5 secs only?
Ok, I'm sure many of you have heard of the upcoming Saab 9-2X. Basically an Impreza rebadged as a Saab. The predicted 0-60 times on this car is 6.5 secs, that's about 1 sec off the WRX. Granted that 0-60 isn't as important as the driveability of the WRX.
Anyway, I got the info here. http://home.swipnet.se/danny/info.htm
BTW, if this isn't a place to post this, let me know. I saw Saab 9-2X postings in other Subaru forums so I thought it's ok.

The 9-2X is going to be the wagon version of the WRX. If I am not mistaken, the WRX wagon goes from 0-60 mph in about 6.5 sec also, so there isn't much of a difference between the two cars.

The wagon is mechanically identical to the sedan, but is heavier due to the extra structural beams needed to reinforce the roof. This is needed because the wagon does not have a rear deck as the sedan does in order to reinforce the rear of the car's frame, not to mention the extra load it is going to see with a roof rack. Anyway, the car is plenty fast either in a sedan or wagon form.

I doubt it has anything to do with body style or transmission. Subaru also gave a conservative 0-60 time when the WRX was introduced. I think it was 6.5 also, but not sure. They didn't start advertising the faster times until the media provided those times. I think it makes it seem more legitimate when Motor Trend is the one timing the car and not the manufacturer.
