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.
