So, for those who are unaware of exactly what the 9-6X is, or was supposed to be, here's a little breakdown.

The 9-6X was planned to be the second Subaru-based Saab model for the North American market, following the Impreza-based 9-2X, as a partnership between General Motors and Subaru, based on the B9 Tribeca (later just Tribeca).

It was pretty much production ready, before GM abandoned the program after divesting of their stake in FHI, the parent company of Subaru, resulting in Saab introducing the Chevrolet TrailBlazer-based 9-7X, instead.

A number of part of the 9-6X were used by Subaru in the facelift of their model, which dropped the B9 designation at that point, including the entire rear (bumper, lights, and liftgate), as well as the front fenders and headlights (the bumper had a different grille, and the lower portion was identical to the pre-facelift).
