A few points...
First, Saab was going to use the block and some basic structure, but its own internals. Second, as the article mentions, Ion isn't the only plant that makes the engine.
I'd imagine that this will cause supply to be limited initially...customers may have to wait for cars with the V6 engine. But GM depends on it for multiple cars, and GM has lots of connections and can find many places to build an engine block.
It might not be built in Australia as a result of this, and that might increase the price that Holden has to pay for the parts, hence the doom and gloom from the Holden executives. I don't think it will make much of a difference to Saab after the initial shortage of parts.
