I think here the phrase "based on" is really streching. The original Triumph 1.7L I4 was not DOHC, or direct ignition, or balanc-shafted. By the same token, one can argue that today's BMW M3's 3.2L I6 is based on the 2.0L and 2.3 baby I6 of the 1970's. I do wish though SAAB would use aluminum blocks with iron/steel lining, so that the car could be lighter. The heavy iron block partly negates the weight saving from turbo-charging.
