Things must be bad at Saab if they want to badge engineer a Subaru. What happened to the 9X and 9-3X?!? I see GM is making money again but it doesnt seem to be promoting the Saab brand very hard, its alright having fancy commercials on TV but they have to translate to sales. Does GM even know what a Saab is and why Saab sales have declined since the late 80s? What defined a Saab owner in the good old days and how do we get him/her back into the fold? If you are going to put a Saab badge on a non-Saab I think they should be looking at the 2004 Opel Astra platform which is a lot more interesting that a Subaru! I certainly hope the 9-3 is a success BUT I think its a bit too early to judge how the new model is doing just yet. To say response to the new 9-3 is muted isnt fair, the car hasnt been on sale long enough and mistakes have been made in that 1/ the 210bhp model should have been put on sale from day one and more importantly 2/ why advertise the car at USD25900/CAD35000 when no such car was even available!
