Made in Japan with the ignition key on the column does not make a Saab.

You call it a Saabaru.

AKA Subaraab.

As far as BMW being 100% original.. well.. half the parts are made in China.

I have an WRX STi, I think Saab should have rebadged that and replaced 9-3 with it. Immitation is the ultimate form of flattery. GM is so useless these days that they can't even frame a painting right.

namlook said:So how does this compare to the new 2005 Mustangs which are highly rated. They can be had around for around 20K.

Completley different cars. Mustangs are good for summer, but what do you do in the winter? A) Buy a winter beater. B) Take a bus. RWD not good for snow. AWD is great for snow!

man, you got free shipping!? i just got off the phone with CSR and she wouldn't budge. she said i would HAVE to pay the $1000 shipping charge. i asked "what if the Staples driver scratches my paint?" and after enough complaining, she gave me a $999 Staples concession coupon. OSSOM!

danl said:I would be all over this deal a few months back, but at the moment I'm not in too much need of a new car. In any case, I know the wrx is a good car and all, fun to drive etc. But can anyone comment on how reliable subarus are? Just that I dont know too many ppl who owns subarus, but I do know alot of honda owners and a few regretful saab owners.

Also, any more info on the next redesign of the wrx? I sorta like the bug eye look of the 2003, but the slight face life in 2004... no so much. Dunno. More info please!

subaru is a solid company. my dad bought a legacy wagon back in 94. it still runs pretty well. i had it for 2 of my college years [definately NOT a chick magnet...] i also ended up putting a fat dent on the side of it. we got that all fixed. but yea, it's had some minor work done on it - brake pads & axle work. the engine has held up pretty well. although, the drive now doesn't seem as 'smooth' - i think i'm just 'spoiled' because i swapped it for the camry 93 xle my parents had.

I am pretty sure VW does NOT own Porsche.

I believe that a Porsche engineer went to VW and desiged the VW bettle engine back in the 60's 70's, cant remember.

Guess again. Porsche+Audi+VW=Family. Cayenne=Toureg.

I believe it was a joint developement. I read that in some magazine.

If only I had a 30 off 150 coupon for this one, it would really be hot. Also.. how much can I expect to make on eBay on these?

I don't know which BMW you're talking about and where do you get such ideas/information from, but the ones sold in USA are either manufactured at the Munich plant (3,5,7,M series) or Spartanburg, SC (X3,X5,Z3,Z4). BMW has plants in China, South Africa etc and in the process of opening a new plant in India too, but those are only for the local markets. Read more here.

BMW's manufactured at the Munich plant uses most of their parts from European manufacturers (Hella, Bosch, Mann + Hummel, Eberspaecher etc.) under strict quality control, which is common in the Benz, VW, Audi etc. I just opened up the climate control computer in my E36 this weekend and for a while i thought it might've been made in Asia (Taiwan, S. Korea, China) but nope, it was manufactured by Siemens AG in Germany itself.
