It's never been sold here in Australia, for example. We have Subaru selling Liberty, WRX's, etc. by the boatload, and Saab selling a meagre number of 9-3's and 9-5's, but the 'crossover vehicle' didn't seem to make it onto the radar of GM's senior marketters for our country. Perhaps that's because the market is so small compared to the US or Europe so there might not have been any perceived 'room' to put the 'Saabaru' into the picture...
