The Saab that is a Subaru is the Saab 9-2X. The Saab 9-2X is essentially a Subaru Impreza WRX in disguise. It was produced for the 2005 and 2006 model years and featured Saab-designed front and rear fascias, fenders, hood, and tailgate, while the interior was mostly Subaru. Mechanically, the Saab 9-2X Aero is nearly identical to the Subaru WRX, featuring the same 227-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, five-speed manual transmission, and all-wheel-drive system as the Subaru WRX. However, Saab made some modifications to the steering and suspension to provide a different driving experience [[4]].
Please note that the Saab 9-2X is different from the Saab 9-2, which was a proposed small family car that was never produced due to Saab’s bankruptcy.
