Both are AWD. Also, if it was only 2WD, it would be FWD as Saab has only ever offered FWD cars (except, of course, for the 9-2X and the new 9-7X).

Question

how much is the MSRP difference compared to a WRX wagon. and they have a non-turbo one? i remember early on they said they were going to have 2 models...... 227 hp 2-liter, and 300 hp 2.5 liter, a.k.a. STi motor. what happened? wouldnt that be like a STi wagon bastard child thingy?

Saab has a 165hp 2.5L naturally aspirated one starting at $23k (9-2X Linear). The 227hp 2.0L turbo one starts at $27k (9-2X Aero). I don't think they were ever offering to bring an STi tuned 9-2X.

i like the looks of the front end and hood. that is all.
however our relationship to saab i deeper than looks.
gm their parent company has agreed to manufacture and stock tons of parts for subaru- thats how we were able to get the immobilizer keys/remotes for 2005.
and the dash is a shared feature(which i hate personally...and selling that is a challenge for me.)

my only reservation is that i feel that gm might offer some assistance in terms of rebates(huge) which subaru generally doesn't like to do.

yeah, most likely. I'll trust Saab's website over a Sport Compact Car article.
