GM also is considering closer cooperation between Saab and Subaru, a GM
affiliate.
Subaru dealers in the United States were up in arms last month at the
annual convention of the National Automobile Dealers Association over
discussions between Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (Subaru) and GM about
whether to give Saab a version of Subaru's Impreza WRX wagon. A Subaru
spokesman in the United States said a feasibility study is under way.
Said Wagoner: "I don't think we made any announcement on it yet, but
clearly (a Saab-Subaru relationship) appeals to us as an opportunity
that perhaps helps both partners. The product characteristics, while in
some ways different, in some ways there are a lot of similarities to the
philosophy of product. This is an area we want to explore."

someone posted a pic of what was suppose to be a 9-1 wagon that looked like WRX wagon. it looked like it was photochop job. but im seriously hoping the rumors are true, cuz my bro gets a discount on GM cars including Saab's. last time i checked it was 5% below invoice.
