SWEEEEET!
That works so well, far better than if someone just tried to describe it.
Makes me wonder what a bug-eyed 9-3 convertible would look like too. Hmm...the possibilities. ;D

It was an official model in the US in 2005/6, the 9-2X, based on the Impreza wagon.

That's brilliant!
Gives me naughty thoughts of similar things on my mum's 2004 9-3

What Adam said, it's an actual model rather than a conversion. I really like them, I'm not a huge fan of bug eye Impreza's, and those Saab fronts are really nice. Good to see one given the treatment, it'd be cool to make one in the UK, it'd certainly turn a few heads! A standard one: .jpg)  |

I was hoping you'd found someone who'd put a Subaru lump in a 96...  |

Whilst it is very nice , I cant help thinking a saloon version would look better! I do like that standard version too  |

 I'd rock one of these for sure. Does that mean they were AWD as well then? |

- snip - I'd rock one of these for sure. Does that mean they were AWD as well then? Yep, according to wiki it's still on the impreza 4WD system, and still using the boxer engines. As far as I can make out its just a facelifted Impreza, with maybe a few mechanical tweaks. |

Are there any more pics of the one in the original post? Looks very photoshopped, don't know why.. I've seen a few saabarus, it's more the wheels that look weird |

my old flatmate had one... prettymuch a bog standard US spec WRX, mechanically. The body and interior are the only difference. The fit and finish on his was less than incredible... the interior in particular.
i'd gladly rock one, though.
used to see a fair amount of them around, but haven't seen one in ages now.
