Saab 9-2

Saab 9-2 is a planned automobile from Saab, but made by Subaru and based on the Subaru Impreza WRX with modified front, rear and interior. They will be a five door sports car available with either 2.5 litre four-cylinder or a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine.

Pushed by General Motors, the owner of Saab and a major minority shareholder in Subaru, the idea is not particularly popular with brand enthusiasts, nor, reportedly, management at the companies concerned. From the perspective of Saab enthusiasts, the idea has been criticized for that the changes will only be cosmetic so while it may look like a Saab it will not drive like a Saab, nor have the same high standard of safety as a Saab (although the Impreza is among the safest cars in its class). Subaru is not happy about its image-building "hero car" being used to prop up another brand. Many Subaru owners, especialy boy racers, like the idea since they hope to be able to use Saab parts to style their Subarus. Especially the Subaru interior that often is described as outdated and truck-like.

It is planned to be sold only in areas of the world where people have little knowledge about what Saab is and not in Europe.

Should not be confused with Saab 92.
