Looks like an Impreza with a Saab bodykit!

This is the 9-2x to debut at Los Angeles in December.

Cool

Flare the arches, lower it, 18" wheels, 300bhp, and I'd have one!

You've heard Saab are working on the platform of the Impeza right? So that's why you see touches of the impreza in the picture. Both companies are partly owned by GM and this is GM's strategy to revive sorry Saab with a new lease of life because it has been a bad investment for them so far. The idea of this also reduces developments costs for both sides.

There is big potential with Saabs design and Subaru power

Looks like SAAB are buying the Impreza from Subaru! Lets face it - if it comes to a choice between that car and that new Impreza Roadster that thats on the cover of auto express - then I'm afraid I'll be taking the swedish alternative - that roadster looks like an MX-5!!

I just hope they sell the thing in the UK and Europe, as I think it is only destined for the US initially

This is what the new-age SHOULD have looked like.

They might have sold some then

Misty, there's no association with BMW here, unless those fogs have an on/off switch of course

THATS GREAT! my order is going down if they give the go-ahead for the uk!
Wonder if they'll do a very fast version, like 300 - 400bhp! Now that would be fun! A true stealth car!

So a saab could sound like a scoob very soon

In the old days, Saab main dealers also sold Subarus as the quirky Subaru designs were considered to be the Japanese equivalent of Saabs. Aye. It's true.
