That's what our indy refers to it as... obviously the 9-3 is way nicer than a Malibu (+drives like a SAAB should etc), but it roughly goes together the same way. I'm not dissing the 9-3, but it's architecture is obviously heavily GM intertwined. I would expect the NG9-5 would be even more-so.
Going forward though, GM is betting a lot on the NG9-5 platform in terms of it's main brands. The 9-3ss platform should be old enough they don't care about competition from SAAB product. Therefore there may be hope for a buyer to extract the 9-3 and milk it for another couple years until new product is out. The XWD models are at least something fresh. I doubt there is any hope for NG9-5.
