WRX and SAAB 92x

N

NitroTrike

I recently heard a radio advertisement about the Saab 92x, and the "optional"
227hp turbocharged engine, and "sport tuned suspension". I knew for a while
they were going to use the WRX drivetrain in this thing. Well, I seen one, but
didnt get to open the hood or anything. The one thing I notice was this thing
has very cool looking stock wheels. I am wondering if they use the Subaru lug
pattern, or Saab. Also are there any real differences in the suspension? Do
they still use the 3 cat systems? The one I seen was a dark blue wagon, and in
my opinion looks alot better than the WRX wagon. Anyone else see one of these
things yet?

I have seen the new Saaburu. I guess it is a matter of personal taste, but
I like the Subaru better. The Saab has a nicer interior, but it isn't worth
the extra 10grand Cdn you pay for it.

I'm a bit biased but I prefer the Subaru as well. It's a great concept
though, and allows Saab loyalists to get a little more weirdness back into
their Saab. (Saabs used to be kind of quirky, up until around the time GM
took control.) So now they can get a Saab with a unique symmetrical AWD
system and an even more unique flat four engine.

I don't like the influence GM is wielding for one. Saab used to be an
excellent car back in the day. What is it now? A repackaged Subaru with a
higher price tag. Way to go GM!
 
to answer your question. I have a '04 WRX wagon MT and love it. From all
the mags I read for the extra $5000+. You get a softer suspenion (even if
you get the Aero) , more sound deadening, and option you cant get on a WRX
wagon like power moonroof and leather. From what I can tell that's about
it. I saw the 9-2x at the LA auto show and waited to see which car I
wanted. Once I saw the price and performance I got the WRX. Car and Driver
had a reveiw a few months back. You might be able to read it on thier web
site.
