But this text is most likely written by a behind-the-desk car tester looking at the same picture as you and me. I would like to see some information from Saab, not some speculations by journalists. > However, from the part of the side panels that you can see, it looks > slightly sharpened, although the side windows have the same shape and > slim B-pillar as the Imprezza.

I guess no one will know for sure until Saab releases some real pictures. So far Saab has only released some handmade concept drawings and this latest "photoshop"-type picture. Taking the role of the behind-the-desk car tester I predict that parts that are expensive to change will not be changed, e.g. most body panels will be exactly the same as the Impreza. I predict this as the 9-2x must be ready for sale after a short development period, must be cheap to produce, and will be very short lived. The Impreza is soon going to be replaced and Subary and Saab is said to be working on the next car that will be the base for the new 9-2x and new Impreza. This is the 9-2x version that might be sold outside of the US. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
