Ako i really like the older ones, the pre "9-whatever" models which are based on GM cars already. The airplane-like cockpit, massive interior space and the "swede feel" is quite an experience.

the 9-2x is basically a reskinned subaru wrx

taht's true, but the new subaru wagon is just too ugly on the outside for my taste.

kumusta kaya ang reliability nito?

Subaru is one of the reliable cars here in the U.S. as long as hindi mo sosobrahan ang pag mod sa engine

[luckytruck]

i like the styling of the older subaru's kasi. yung mga 2005 model na wagon, pangit para sa akin. let me check their website again

bat naging subaru usapan hehe..

technically, you buy a saab for its character, not specs hehe.

SAAB, are like dressed up subarus. subarus with euro styling.

[niky]

Not really. The 9-2x is the only Subaru. The next 9-2 will be a Sigma platform car (AFAIK, but I might be wrong), while the upcoming 9-7 will be a Chevy Equinox re-skin.

The last true Saabs are the current 9-3 and 9-5, which are great cars. The 9-2x is basically a less powerful WRX with more sound-deadening and a body kit. Not impressed.

but you guys have to admit, with the incredible dsicounts on GM products now, the SAAB 9-2 is a great buy and looks a lot better than the subaru wagons.

what do you guys think?

i agree with you. kung sold ka sa reliability ng Subaru (and we all know about their performance), add in the better looks of the Saab and some upgraded luxury features, and it's a pretty good buy

Ahh, the Saabaru 9-2x

Mas better looking nga ang front ng Saabaru kesa Impreza. I've never had an STi or any other Subaru but the bugeye WRX...and the interior is meehh. And the 5-spd tranny? :swear:

Subaru reliability?! Never had a problem but the 5-spd tranny just sucks a$$.

[imprezawrxsti]

Karding knows better, he used to have this car before , i mean the previous model , right Karding? Well , except fot the SAA-

[luckytruck]

hmmmm, nagagandahan talaga ako sa itsura. but might be too much money for me
