I never would have believed or known about it had you not made this incredibly helpful post without first searching!

I like it, though I can't imagine spending that much dough when the WRX is so similar. I also wonder if the tranny is going to be ofthe same weak reputation, as I don't see Saab owners putting up with such a potentially poor design.

i heard that it will only be in production for one year. i guess they have a;ready figured out turtle neck wearing saab owners dont want no japaneseee vehicle
I got all excited when I saw the commercial during game 5 of the 9-2x and it stated 22,900 and the whole commercial was the turbo version. Look at my wife and said sweet, it's the same price as the WRX. But nope 22,900 is for the N/A version.
