One of my best friends has one of these and I think in the years you are looking for, its a really fun drive.

wtf are you talking about dan?
who the hell wants a saab anyways?
SUbby, not shitty, i mean....

they arenot going to be as nice as an e36 interior wise,
but shit, subarus are so sick and SO safe

my friend totalled his, but went thru flipping over(with 4 others in car) slidding knocking down 2 light posts and a big green electrical box.. the body of the car wasnt all the bad, and everyone just walked out... built in rollcage, woot

the older 2.5s are by far my fav. suby out there... a buddy on mine has a 99 with a wrx motor in there, very sexy car... after im done paying off my car ill probably end up with an old GC8. theres a black 99 up here for 10g right now! i WANT IT

saab is just a subby with a differant body

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-05-2005, 07:00 PM

which s a difference...

Storamin · 09-05-2005, 07:38 PM

A saabaru?

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-05-2005, 07:47 PM

haha, funny...

**Spieluhr** · 09-05-2005, 07:47 PM

I know what you mean, a buddy of mine has a wrx and after seeing david's rex, I want one as well. the turbo and all wheel drive is just so fucking sexy. as is the body style.

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-05-2005, 07:48 PM

i think it would be easier for me to find a nice impreza over a nice 325is or something... i cant find SHIT that is nice for a good price... its getting sad... i see nice ones on bimmerforums..but its always way too far from me.
if there is something nice, its WAY over priced

**zeaq328i** · 09-05-2005, 08:03 PM

its not a different body, its the same.
Differences between 05 RS wagon and 05 Linear(saab)

Lights
Two-tone interior
stereo
steering wheel
instrument cluster
wheels
reinforced fenders(slighty stiffer)
sideskirts

not really anything different, just small saab features.

Its like a Tahoe and a Yukon

Umm... yeah. If I want an AWD Turbo car, it's an Evo. Much better looking car and not much more expensive then a WRX/STi. I don't see the fascination with Scubaru lately. IMO they're not really good looking as far as style imo. The only one I've ever seen I liked was a stock black STi with gold rims. It really stood out to me for some reason.

STi or Evo? It's never a clear answer... point is, they're both VERY nice cars. Have you seen the new 06 STi in the flesh? My god, the new front end is amazing. The only downside is there are now 2 wings on the car. Just a lil tacky...

im not much for subarus... a stupid kid at school has a wrx and he treats it like shit. his parents pay for everything and he could care less about it. its got carbon fiber hood and ground affects and a nice turbo/intercooler setup. he just figures he'll get another one if he ruins this one. that stuff pisses me off so i kinda dont like em
