Just think on tight circuits if you had a Volvo 740 it would be so wide that no-one would be able to overtake

The 9-2X

 

[Patricio]

Another Angle...

Its built on the Subaru Impreza plattform...

 

[Patricio]

 

[Danny]

It's quite like the new vectra too...

 

[Mr P510]

Looks like a photoshoped Impreza to me!!!

 

[T5-R]

Reminds me of the Lexus LS200?/Toyota Altezta whatever, estate/wagon.

 

[Patricio]

it is built on the plattform of Subaru Impreza...

 

[Dave A]

It uses the Impreza drivetrain and engine as well doesn't it.

Yeah thats right...I think its good looking what do you guys think?

 

[Dave A]

I love it, one of the mags I read regular calls it the Saabaru.

 

[T5-R]

Looks like a nice car, think the intake on the bonnet/hood is a bit big compared to the rest of the bonnet but none the less, looks different & good so 👍

Saabaru, aaah the media & their puns

Wonder why Saab aren't using their own chassis/drivetrain/engine, still I guess the Volvo S40 shares a number of components (chassis?) with the Mistubishi Carisma & other cars. Along with many other cars/manufacturers these days.

 

[Dave A]

It's to cut costs, so Saab and Subaru are sharing components now.

[VIPFREAK]

[ExigeEvan]

Can't you read other peoples posts, like 4 posts above yours. It is a Subaru, it's an Impreza chassis, drivetrain and engine, even the intake on the bonnet ois from the Impreza. All of this is done with Subaru's backing ofcourse, Saab and Subaru are sharing components now to cut down production costs, and this is the first car built with this joint effort agreement.

 

[Aero HOT]

Saabs to include:

9-5 Aero & Aero Estate
9-3 Aero
(no point suggesting a 9-3 convertible since they only ever show them with the roof up anyway)
9-2 (as long as it can be tuned in the game to match the Imprezas - I just wish that they used a proper Saab interior for that car rather than the boring cheap Subaru dash).
9-3 Pikes Peak
9000 Turbo
900 or 99 Turbo
The 95 or 96 V4s and Two Strokes, for a classic rally part of the game
Any or all of the Sonnetts

For Volvo:
240 Turbo
740 Turbo
850 R and estate
850 British Touring Car (the 1993 season when they ran the estate!)

But to be honest I would take any participation from Saab, and it would be good to see Volvos in as well. Just as long as the makers ensure that you can tune these cars in the game to be competitive with the Subarus, Mitsubishis, Nissans, Toyotas etc. - which are too highly tuned anyway I think. One problem I have with previous GTs is that you could not tune your BMW, Audi etc. to the same level as the Japanese cars, so you hardly ever used them to progress.
