Nope, the Alfa grill didn't come from GM, it came from Subaru. Its here to stay.

One this is for certain, though, is that there will be no more Saabarus. And for that, I am thankful.

Yes, they are sorely missed, and we need to bring them back!

in the article, it said that GM and FHI will continue working on one car together: Saab 9-2X.

so it looks like there still is a saabaru.

Yeah, I saw that after the fact.

But, it also says no new Saabarus, which is good. Besides, with the slumping sales of the 9-2x, it probably isn't destined to stay in this world much longer.

I still say, bring back the rear drive corolla's and put the turbo thing in it. Now that would make more sales.

Yeah, the former Alfa designer now works for Subaru. Enough said, he's the new sheriff in town.

Toyota needs to start making cheap RWD cars again, if Mazda can do it with the Miata, Toy can easily put out some little beater tire spinners

Toyotaru! Honda just showed an AWD 4 seater too. It's a trend they cannot ignore.

Think we'll ever see another Celica GT-four? That and a modern version of the d-boy classic corolla. Oh man, how I hope to be making big bucks by then.
