While all brands seem to be going cross platform, the Saab part is being removed entirely from Saabs. They are doing that with other acquisitions too. GM is just building a new generation of what they did with buick/olds/chevy/pontiac. One car, multiple trims. They've just realized how stupid that was with the original GM brands and are shutting down redundant products - but too stupid to realize that they are doing it again with all the brands they just bought. Corporate morons, once and forever.
