well i dont know where else to put this...



anyways im driving through monroeville (the only person that would proably know where im talking about is spazegun)

anyways this funny looking subaru sorta grabs my attention outa the corner of my eye. so i turn my head to look and realize... wait.. that's not a subaru.. what is... THATS A SAAB!!

thats right. the saab 9-2.... AWD...



and our beloved 06 WRX wagon



ok i know both were originally airplane manufacturers.... but wtf...

im sorry but that reminds me ALOT of a subaru... or am i just imagining things.... ?

no. it's basically a wrx wagon with a saab front end and wheels. hence the nickname saabaru.

I always liked the Saabaru...didn't get it b/c a) overpriced and b) had the 2.0L engine...now they are making it w/ the 2.5L much better ...but still overpriced.

so you had no idea that the 92X was originally a Subaru wagon? you need to come out of the studio for air more often.

are they still making the 92X at all? it didn't sell very well. back when GM was offering the "employee discount" promotion you could pick up a Saabaru for less than a WRX wagon.

My brother bought one last summer during the GM discounting and talked his buddy into getting one too, about $5K less than a WRX. I want to say that I heard the name may stick around, but that is it; they sold their Subaru stock earlier this year and Toyota bought some of it.

I don't think that GM selling their small share of FHI stock had much to do with it, it was the poor market performance of the 92X that killed the idea.

...and the Trolls couldn't find the ignition! (a little Saab humor there)

guess i do need to get out more. lol besides im still learning about subarus... only got into them about 2-3 years ago when i got the SVX. well now i know!

oh and yeah to the best of my knowledge they are still selling the 92x... and its still like $35k or something around there
