2023-11-11 15:58 | For the first year, non-turbo models had a different grille: www.oldparkedcars.com/2015/07/1979-saab-900-gle-hatchback.html After 1979, all models received the turbo grille instead. -- Last edit: 2023-11-11 15:58:54 |

2023-01-22 22:55 | So, for those who are unaware of exactly what the 9-6X is, or was supposed to be, here's a little breakdown. The 9-6X was planned to be the second Subaru-based Saab model for the North American market, following the Impreza-based 9-2X, as a partnership between General Motors and Subaru, based on the B9 Tribeca (later just Tribeca). It was pretty much production ready, before GM abandoned the program after divesting of their stake in FHI, the parent company of Subaru, resulting in Saab introducing the Chevrolet TrailBlazer-based 9-7X, instead. A number of part of the 9-6X were used by Subaru in the facelift of their model, which dropped the B9 designation at that point, including the entire rear (bumper, lights, and liftgate), as well as the front fenders and headlights (the bumper had a different grille, and the lower portion was identical to the pre-facelift). -- Last edit: 2023-01-22 22:56:19 |

2015-12-08 04:15 | Probably one of the best examples of badge engineering ever. Not everyone liked the front styling of this generation of Impreza over it's years of production, and this gave customers a great alternative. Also being a GM brand at the time, I'm pretty sure it had better powertrain coverage than the Subaru conterpart (5 year, 100,000 miles, compared to 5 years, 60,000 for the Subaru). Only major disadvantage I'm aware of was a smaller dealer network than Subaru, though it could be serviced at a Subaru dealer. |

Because I really didnt found anything (apart from fact that automatic transmission was for extra 1250$). Yes and delete the weight, as that's the only relevant thing that changes for automatic transmissions. |

2015-12-07 23:00 | JFK wrote I just done the engines with manual transmission  yes, there is, but I cant find info about it. Websites are more focusing on manual than automatic transmission (car is based on Subaru, so it is sporty, and who would buy slow 4AT to this kind of car), but I will try my best.
