They borrowed everything from them, put a Saab shell and badge on it, and called it their own. In my opinion it's the worst attempt at a re-badging yet. Subaru is still its own manufacturer (as far as I know).
Yep, and it's sad.

Saabs have always been unique in their design. To take a car that's 95% Subaru and call it a Saab won't go well with Saab loyalists.

They are doing the same with a Chevy Trailblazer.
