It was only the 9-2, and it wasn't even a Subaru-powered Saab. It was a full-blooded Impreza wagon that GM changed some body panels on. Apparently nobody in Saab's or Subaru's corporate sides were happy with GM's decision. There were zero parts interchange with the 9-2 and any other Saab so dealers hated that, too.

More of GM's wonderful brand-engineering in action. Subaru fans should be VERY thankful that Toyota rescued them from the General.

Prior to that I think the last boxer Saab was like in the 60's and probably a 2-stroke or some other weirdness.
