ok, time to decide SAAB or Subaru!

[grape]

my old camry borken, and now I have to decide whether to take saab or
subaru. My aim is the 2.5 non-turbo version. question is that, is 9-2x
harder to get parts? like it has fewer dealer here(Toronto) than Subaru, so
I am afraid every time the dealer calls , I have to wait much longer time
than subaru.

the other point is that, the GM offers discount, and I am about to buy the
05 model, plus I can use the $1500 on SAAB.

So.... it's getting hard to decide whether saab or subaru....

any suggestion?

Hi,

Another thread reports GM selling its interest in Fuji Heavy
Industries... I'd guess they got whatever they wanted from that
relationship so it's time to move on. (Of course, hurting for money is
another consideration--reports I've seen make it look like Toyota's been
almost bending over backwards to help keep GM going.) Business pages of
the local paper reported a few weeks ago GM's on the edge with what to
do with SAAB, which has been a money-loser from the get go. Indications
are that GM's considering giving up on SAAB--whether the marque might
survive under different ownership or the doors would just be closed was
unclear in the article. (Look what GM did with Oldsmobile before
thinking of buying from another "shaky" division.)

I'd go Subaru even not knowing these other things... if you want a
Subie, buy a Subie. If you want a SAAB, buy a SAAB. But to buy a Subie
in SAAB clothing makes little sense to me. To each his own...
