am i going crazy or is this car a subaru wrx? its got a 227 hp turbo boxer 4. Ithought only sub and porsche used the flat cylinders extensively

 

it's a wrx wrapped in a saab skin

 

See the resembalence?

 

Yeah, but what can ya do.. :D

 

it's a WRX wagon.....

 

It's also a very nice car. We went to one of Saab's ride & drives last weekend and had a chance to flog the 9-2X Aero, along with the new V40, an RSX, a Jetta, and a Mini Cooper. It was an automatic, which sucked, but the car rocks.

My wife is seriously considering one for her next car. Why not get the WRX, you ask? GM Family First pricing, my friends.

The 9-2X is a sweetheart, and considerably more refined than the WRX. The Volvo felt like utter crap. The stability control and ABS were out of control, and its cooling system sprung a leak. Awful.

T.

 

Its called a saabaru.

 

I think the Legacy GT Ltd is better looking and a better value than the 'Saab' for about the same price.

 

Werd.

 

Hey Truss, I thought I read somewhere that they tightened the suspension in the 9-2x compared to the WRX. I don't know if you've ever driven the WRX but if you did, did you notice much of a difference?

 

It is a Sube, through and through. Another great name in automotive history bites the dust.

GM says it will soon close the Swedish manufacturing facility in Trollhattan, where Saabs have been built for decades.

I wonder why they even bought the company. To destroy it?

 

why compete with your competition when you can just eat the competition

 

I'm not even really sure why they're even keeping the Saab brand around any more. Mazda has shared stuff with Ford for a while, but still has its own unique products and identity. Saab on the other hand has become nothing more than other manufacturer's cars with a Saab badge on the front and those funky air vents inside.
