Saab 9-2X. 2004–5 (prod. 10,346). 5-door sedan. F/A, 1994 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 2457 cm³ (I4 OHC). ‘Saabaru’ concocted under GM, which had a 20 per cent share holding in Subaru at the time, providing Saab with a compact model to sell in North America for the 2005 and 2006 model years. Saab loyalists were unimpressed: the changes from the Subaru Impreza (GD) hatchback were mostly cosmetic, with a new front and rear (designed by Michael Mauer) and instrument cluster, though there were different front seats and the Impreza WRX STi steering rack used as standard. Very safe, and a good performer, but short-lived, after GM disposed of its Subaru holding to Toyota and Fuji.
