It looks like A Saab and a Subaru mated and had a baby.

Weird??!? Very handsome car, IMHO.

I think it's a definite improvement. I suspect the Sedan facelift
will be the more handsome of the two though.

U-G-L-Y? Why? How? What, exactly? Be precise. I realize it's all in the eyes of the beholder, but for cryin' out loud, you sound like we're talking the Pontiac Aztec here, or something equally bizarre. It just isn't anywhere near that bad. It's a nice looking car.
Yep. It's U-G-L-Y.

Correction: To YOU it is a nice-looking car. To me it looked so much like an Aztec that I just wanted to hurl. I do NOT like it. It is boxy and has no style. This is, of COURSE, my opinion! That is pretty obvious when discussing something as subjective as aesthetics.

wow.. its ugly, but your right, it isnt yellow aztec ugly. It wouldnt be so
bad if the back end didnt look like they glued a square boxt back-window on
the back of a regular sedan.. maybe im the only one thats seein that, but i
wouldnt buy it regardless

When I first heard about this I was skeptical.
Now? I thought they'd do more to it to make it look more like a Saab.
The sides androof seem unchanged, and the back just looks a bit more
angular. They seem to have just put an understated hood and Saab nose on
the WRX Wagon.

From what I can see of the interior, it doesn't appear they've done much
at all, the dash appears unchanged, though I suspect they swiped the
seats from some Saab sedan and added better noise dampening materials.

I suppose if you hated the nose of the WRX and felt the hood scoop
screamed "Ticket me!" but liked the rest of the W, then this should fit
nicely.

For Saab it's a very nice instant entry into the sub $30K market.

Assuming the major components stay common, it could be a real sleeper
with some under the skin mods.
