2006 Saab 9-2X Review
Saab's smallest car is a retrimmed Subaru Impreza wagon brought to the Swedish brand through its parent company, General Motors. The 9-2X is a 4-dr all-wheel-drive wagon with a horizontally opposed 4-cyl engine. The 2.5i model has 173 hp, the turbocharged Aero model has 230 hp. Both offer a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic. Standard are ABS, front side airbags that cover head and torso, and Saab's active front-seat headrests designed to minimize whiplash injury. Leather upholstery and a sunroof are options.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Premium Compact Cars are similar in size but more expensive than Compact Cars. Premium Compacts have more standard equipment and an upscale image when compared to Compact Cars.

Our Best Buys in the Premium Compact Car class are Acura TSX, Audi A4, and BMW 3-Series. At this time we have no Recommended picks.

New or significantly redesigned models in this class include Audi A3 and Lexus IS.
News
We'd be very surprised if the 9-2X returns for '07. Saab's press information doesn't mention it, and GM has all but cut ties with Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries. But as Saab still needs an entrant in the low-$20,000 market, the 9-2X could be replaced by a recast version of some other GM product, though it's unclear just what that might be. Stay tuned.
