Saabs are not Cadillacs (yet). Steering has been made "quicker." I don't know what they did with the suspension, but I have my doubts about softer.

I wouldn't say Saab robbed from Subaru, but at the same time, the 9-2x is not a Saab by any stretch. From my understanding, GM forced the 9-2x (and certainly the 9-7x) on Saab to increase sales in the US. In the case of the 9-7x (which is more controversial in the Saab community), Saab was willing to bring an SUV to market in the US, but the changes they wanted to make to the TrailBlazer would have cost far too much. In the end, GM simply slapped a Saab-ish front on a TrailBlazer and called it a day.
