Saab is owned by GM, which also has a stake in Subaru. Hence the connection....

LOL, I love the analogy from the article :
Quote:
if Saab is the nerd with the pocket protector, endlessly calculating the efficacy of crumple zones, then Subaru is the punk with the pierced nose learning how to do doughnuts in the school parking lot.

The arrangement puts money in FHI's pocket, and will directly contribute to the improvement of future Subarus (the "Saab"'s centre console is also used by the '05 Imprezas). Hardly a bad thing really.

It has a much better front end that the new age Subarus - bumper and lights are a big improvement. And at today's exchange rate it'll only cost you £15,700!
