saab 9-2x and impreza are identical?!

[grape]

apart from the exterior and different suspension, what else are different
between the 2 cars? (9-2x linear & subaru impreza 2.5i wagon)

the same driving tranny and differentials?

btw, correct me if I 'm wrong, the 2.5i adopted a center differential + a
viscous coupling center lock? so it's basically 1 CENTER DIFFERENTIAL and 1
VISCOUS COUPLING LOCK? since I've read some articals claiming that subaru
2.5i has no center differential, only a vc lock ... pugh..

how fast is saab 9-2x linear/2.5i wagon? speaking about a manual, will it
outrun a BMW 3-series? since I am not looking at the expensive WRX end.

Made in the same factory. Saab added additional sound insulation but aside
from superficial differences these cars are identical.
