Saab 9-2X (the Saabaru) will be out in June.

I've heard that AWD Chevy Malibu is possibility.

The AWD Saturn Vue could qualify since its not made on a truck chassis and it has AWD instead of 4wd.

I ended up behind an "STS4" on the road a week ago near Milford.

Looked tasty.

Needs more power. :D

How about the Holden SSX concept? An ls1 powered awd four door, if they bring it to America I think it could really compete with the WRX, and win.

I LOVE that car and the hatch/bed thingy. That is awesome and I would love that choice when a baby appears in the future :)

No, that is just a guess at the year. New CTS should be 08-09.

Zeta cars will have the AWD option - It'll just be up to the divisions

The Holden will never make it here becaus theres no market for an AWD performance 4 door.

;)

If you can count the 9-2x, you can count the WRX and STi.
9-2x=WRX wagon.

But GM fully owns the SAAB brand they do not own the Subaru brand.

GM owns 20% of Fuji heavy industries, Subaru's parent company.

I thought is was 16%, close enough.

Either way, Subarus aren't built on GM platforms and I don't think GM has any say in Subarus cars, if they did then all the new Subarus would be built on GM platforms or use GM engines

at this point its purely an investment. GM has no voice at Fuji. But GM IS licencing/contracting Subaru's platforms.

think of it this way, if you hire a contractor to come in and build you a house, and you pay him for his services, do you OWN him? obviously not. but you might get a better deal if you invested in his company (hint hint)...
