Why is the WRX often compared with the Saab 9-2X?
There was an agreement between Subaru and General Motors between 2005-2006 for Saab to sell a rebranded version of the WRX in America. The 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X is almost identical to the same year WRXs, including having the same engine. However, Saab did change the suspension, interior, and exterior styling.
