You seem to be speaking of the base 9-2X. The 9-2X Aero is the car to get. It has the same turbo flat 4 that comes in the WRX! The 9-2X is definitely going to be closely considered when I buy my new car next fall...that along with the A3.

The new Saab is called the 9-2x, looks like a Subaru Impreza with a Saab 
facelift (front end). Apparently the Saab 9-3 has a pretty decent engine 
though. The only thing it has in common with the Chevy Ecotech is the 
block. Everything else is Saab. There's an article in one of the more 
recent European Car magazines on the 9-3 and it's engine. Apparently the 
drag racers using the Ecotech engine go out and buy the Saab head for 
the engine as it's much better.
