Saw it at the LA Autoshow.....not sure

I understand the need for Saab to survive, but I saw the car yesterday at the LA autoshow and was disappointed as the car looks too much like a Subaru esp the rear end. I understand the turbo version will be near $30000 for this I could buy an Evo or a Subaru STI with more power and more rally/street kudos.
You may say SAAB is competing in a different market, I would say no, they are looking at late twenty's early thirty's reasonably affluent may be married, may be one child. Now the next time you see a WRX look at the driver.....chances are he/she will be in this category......Saab/GM needed to make the car look much different and the interior much more upmarket for it to suceed. I hope I am wrong but it looked like a Subaru with a Saab front end and will not sell.
