Don't worry your Saab is definitely a Saab. GM of Europe did just buy the other 50% of Saab Cars whinh it did not own. But this is a good thing. GM has put money into Saab which has enabled them th build the fabulous 9.5 and the 9.3 you now own. You are not going to see a Chevy with Saab plastered on the rear. A Saab will remain a Saab. Sure they may share some minor components with Opel or Vauxhaul. But the 9.3 and the 9.5's are the best Saabs ever and things will continue to get better and better. New models will come out sooner. You will not see designs that last 19 years (900) or 12 years (9000). Enjoy your Saab!!
