"Review" in Saab Magazine

Anyone read the article in the quarterly Saab Magazine about the 9-2X? No new information, but I found the whole marketing spin of the article amusing.
If you knew nothing about the 9-2X before reading the article, you would come away with the impression that this was a brand new car, co-developed by Saab and some company called Fuji Heavy Industries (yes, I know it's the parent company of Subaru). The words "Subaru" or "Impreza" or "WRX" do not appear anywhere in the article. They did use the terms "Full-Time All-Wheel Drive" and "boxer engine", which are staples of all Subaru advertising.
I'm not knocking the car at all, I just thought it was funny that the Saab marketing folks felt the need to spin it the way they did.
