Have you lost it? I wouldn't ever put Subaru and Saab in the same sentence (except of course this one). There's so much more to a car than its pure numbers. There's the feeling, the presence, the image, or the stature. I don't care what you do to speed up a Honda Civic or a Subaru, it'll still just be junk.
I may get passed by WRX's all day, but at the finish line they'll still just be Subaru's. Perhaps I'm a snob, but the Saab has unique character, charm, and class that will never come from Japan. A Lexus will always just be a bad knock off of a Mercedes and likewise a Subaru will forever remain nothing more than a fine little economy car.
One last point is that while I haven't seen the numbers, I'd bet that the Subaru doesn't crash quite like a Saab. The safety issues should be enough to scare educated consumers away.
