I agree. I've read elsewhere that Toyota's influence is becoming more + more pronounced at Subie. I can see it in the newest models, but they are at least doing it in a moderately sensitive (to the Subie brand identity) way... The independent image is important to subie...
many many former Saab owners defected to Subie in the last decade... and (imho) many many Subie owners that have never tried a Saab would (if they could get over the Subie-lemming brand loyalty) probably buy a Saab if a) they test drove one and b) the company was stable. So Saab as an upmarket brand for Subie kind of makes sense (except that Subies here are already similarly priced), but it's probably not likely to happen!
