if you can get over the abomination cross-breedyness of it (I can just fine, but I have some Saab purist friends who are still in denial about the last 10 years or saab production h: ), its actually a much nicer alternative if you want a "grown up" wrx. Mechanically identical, and stylistically similar, but the interior is MUCH nicer.

It just feels/looks cheap to me. I prefer my Legacy.
GM did not sell all it's shares to Toyota. They sold about 8.5% of their 20% share to Toyota and the remaining 11.5% to Fuji in a buy back deal.
lots and lots of fail

The 92-X was available in 2005 & 2006.
The 92X Linear is the non turbo, 2.5l H-4. 2005 92-X Aero is a turbocharged 2.0l H4. The 2006 92-X Aero might be a 2.5l turbocharged H4.
The Saab 92X is a reskinned Subie Impreza.
Differences:
Seats. The seats in the 92x are less sporty than the WRX, less side bolstering.
Sound Deadening. The 92x has tons of foam sound deadening. At idle, I can't tell if my 92x's engine is running or not.
The 92X-Aero is the same as the WRX except for the steering rack. The steering rack on the 92X-Aero is from the WRX-Sti.

I traded in a 2002 Nissan Xterra, and the Saab dealership payed me $1500 more than what I owed on the Xterra in trade... which was sweet.
It came with 2 year / 24K free scheduled maintenance which saved me maintenance expenses that 1st two years.
A few suspension tweaks, and the little wagon handles mostly neutral. No understeer. In extremes, a touch of oversteer. AWD kicks ass in crappy weather.
