For two years only, 2005 and 2006, Saab and Subaru partnered to build a very capable model (9-2X) with the innards of a Subaru. Actually, it is more like a Subaru in Saab clothing.
For Saab it was a chance to reach younger adults, for Subaru it was a chance to deliver more AWD fun to a market that wasn’t used to WRX and STi.
