9-2x personal epiphany

Until now I have been confused by Saab's decision to produce the 9-2x. Why would a person spend a few thousand more for a 9-2 Linear/Aero when the Impreza/WRX is essentially the same car, and for less?
Well, this weekend I drove a friend's brand-new WRX. It's amazing! Like a go-kart with a roof and a stereo. It outperforms my 2000 9-3 in every way: faster, smoother, better gearbox, and stiffer chassis.
Preview pics on the http://www suggest that Saab is dressing up the interior. With that, I think consumers wanting a European car will snatch this car up -- especially when they realize that no other Eurocar sold in the U.S. matches its blend of performance, versatility, and reliability (thank you Subaru) at this price.
