Does anyone remember the Subaru Blitzen B4? Porsche helped Suby design a Legacy that had Porsche styling cues. Decent looking car, but I've always wanted to know why Porsche wanted to be associated with Subaru.
hmmm....Porsche has a very nice all-wheel drive system now.

They sell the units to the other car company.

haven't heard much about saab's reliability though
Well, Subaru is building the 9-2x on the same line as the WRX, so unless putting a Saab badge on the car adversely affects reliability, I'd say it is on par with the WRX...

Is there an option for a roof rack?
You can get a removable rack that clips into the rain rails, as shown here.

(Sorry, that's a bad pic.)

I reall like the 9-2x. I'm going to pick one up this fall (Aero). Just can't decide between black and red.
