But if you read my whole post, you would see that I also stated "I will admit, that the SAAB's have been looking much better lately....and the one pictured above is by far the best looking one I have seen...." "but looks are only skin deep"....Which pretty much covers that subject....
because they looked cool.

I don't have a link, but Motor Trend has it in their current issue as one of the scoops:
From MT:
"It'll be the first Saab with all-wheel drive. It'll be the first Sabb assembled in Japan. And it's got more than a little Subaru Impreza RS and WRX going on not so far beneath the skin. At launch, the 9-2X will be sold only in five-door sport-wagon form and gives the Swedish marque entry into a price point it hasn't been able to compete in for years. The linear model uses Subaru's naturally aspirated 2.5 liter H-4, rated at 165 horsepower; the 9-2X aero gets the WRX's 227-horse turbo 2.0-liter powertrain. As you can see, the car gets Sabb-familial front-end sheetmetal and will likely benefit from interior upgrading"
BTW the little snippet was titled: " 'Saaburu' sportwagon comes to market this spring"
looks like MT caught wind of the nickname =P
Lets see the wierd faces we get when to wave to them!
