I was hoping it would have a Saab quality interior. Alas it's just a had a Saab front end conversion, with different bonnet/scoop and different badges. Everything else appears exactly the same (with the exception of an STi rack)

Does this mean that Saab wheels are the same PDC as Subaru or are these special one offs?

This is a massive SIAL. A USA only model, so either he is a yank who imported it or his browser is fubar'd!

Isn't the SAAB connection the reason why the Hawk and Hatch have SAAB looking lights? GM used SAAB designers when it owned a piece of Subaru?

Least that's what I was told/read.
