Default Saab 9-2X Anyone?

So what do you subbie guys think about the new 9-2X. same engine and drivetrain as wrx, but with nicer interior and exterior styling (IMHO)

underhood looks quite familiar

don't like the wagon... in either version. i'd like to see how a saab coupe or sedan would look though.

I've heard it handles better in stock form than a wrx.

It is quite a bit more refined according to Car & Driver. However I'll save 4K and stick with a stock WRX Wagon and spend 30 bucks to get a poly steering rack bushing to fix some of the steering feel issues. and maybe spend an extra grand for some nicer wheels and tires.

Yet again GM fuck's with something they should never be allowed to mess with.

Yeah I just put those poly rack bushings in to replace my 11-year old stock ones. Big improvement in steering response.

I thought the dash looked almost exactly like the 05? Either way, if i were to buy another subaru, my votes would be for the Legacy GT or an STi - not some bastard child saab, besides, Im not good enough to drive one
