Ya. I was stationed there briefly in the 80s. They tend to go for the odd over there.

It actually bears a good bit of resemblance to the Saab cars of the 50s/60s - even before being "Saabified"

it could be the "Retro" Saab - I know how much everyone here loooooves "Retro"

Are you sure that's not a pic of some Alfa-Romeo concept?

You can see the Subaru stars on the grille in the larger picture:

They've used that grille on other concepts as well.

The Alfa Romero designer was fired then was picked up by Subaru. Hence the ugly styling.
