Let me disclaim that I quite like Subarus... Even the old slow ones had their charm.
But this is dangerous territory... We're talking about Badge-engineering here, and I'm not sure buyers of premium luxury cars would have a positive reaction to a Subaru badged as a Saab. Volvo has had only mild success with the V/S40 (based on a Mitsubishi) and unlike those cars, a boxer-powered AWD compact would hard to disguise as a genuine Saab.
That said, if Saab has to go badge-engineered, I'd rather them be based on Subarus than Opels.. :)
