Then you know G–ran that there aren't any other pictures :-) All I can go from is the text: "designers have skillfully grafted Saabs corporate nose on to the Imprezza's body, but the overall shape has been left alone - even the Subaru door handles remain." However, from the part of the side panels that you can see, it looks slightly sharpened, although the side windows have the same shape and slim B-pillar as the Imprezza. I think the car will look sufficiently different, but the most disappointing aspect will be the interior if this hasn't been Saab'ened as is suggested.
