TOKYO -- The Subaru-built Saab 9-2X due to roll off production lines next spring will be sold in Subaru stores in Japan.

Takenaka spoke at a press event before the Tokyo Motor Show. He said the Saab-Subaru relationship will be "a cornerstone" of General Motors' alliance strategy with three Japanese automakers. GM owns stakes in Fuji, Suzuki Motor Corp. and Isuzu Motors Ltd.
