because subys are the isht! and everyone knows it. Besides...the hood scoop looks really mean...so everyone thinks that if they put a scoop on their car...it will be more popular (like the suby) and give it that "mean, fast, powerful look." ever notice how many of the new toyota trucks/suvs have the hood scoops too?

i know i'm gonna get flamed here, but i'm a long time saab fan. that car looks pretty bad ***, much better than their current line. and if gm is going to steal one platform to build it off of, they might as well use a good one like the wrx's. better that than a J-body. lmao

Not a bite... Essentially it is a Subaru.

From page 5 of Saab's 9-2X Microsite
The new Saab 9-2X will be produced in Fuji Heavy Industries' facilities in Japan, beginning in the spring of 2004.

as for hood scoops on toyotas, as a long time toyota truck owner, they blow... F the non functional hoodscoops on the RAVs and the 4runners...
