Default saab automobiles

what do you guys think of these new saabs, the 9-2x with awd? the 'aero' version has 227hp, and 217ftlbs torque stock, it's a 2.0t. i couldn't find crap as far as performance parts and upgrades. i know absolutely nothing about saabs, other than the fact that they're swedish, which i think is kinda strange.

Wow i'd never even heard of that in the UK, must be something only you guys are getting.

It looks crap, it's an impreza with a saab 9-3 front end.

Saabs are ok but they aren't quite up there with BMW/Merc/Audi in Europe, there are loads of places that tune them though, the turbo ones are very tunable.

yea, the rear end totally looks like a wrx. the front end is slightly unique to saab, and the interior is actually pretty similar to audis. they even offer basically the same packages audi does (cold weather, sport, and premium). sounds like those swedes are stealing styling left and right. i'll stick with my audi.

i was never a wagon person until, believe it or not, the volvos turned me into one. and now that they've started making these "sport wagon" versions of everything i'm likin them even more. i don't know what it is about them that i like, but i'm feeling all these new wagons. avant, wrx, these saabs, mbz, all their new wagons look dope to me.

Saab's aren't Sweedish anymore.. GM bought Saab about a year or 2 ago....
so that Saab might as well be a Chevy (yuck). I went to the Philly Auto Show in Feb. and they were showing a new Saab SUV, it's a GMC Envoy with a different logo on the grill.... disgusting.
