I think the 9-3 is based on an Opel chassis, which is another GM company in Germany. The big hint on these is the fact that the wrap around windshield is gone. They deliberately put the ignition switch on the center console because of consumer clinics results.
To GM's credit, they left the SAAB engineers and designers alone to persue the unique SAAB experience. Smart.

Saab is the only car I have deliberatly bought two of, except MB.
I love them, and might get another 900.
