I understand that the 3.0 V6 is from GM of England and has a host of improvements in it by Saab. Saab offered their developments of this engine to GM for the other variants, Opel, Cadillac and others and was declined. Other than replacing the cam belts under warranty at 60k I have heard of no problems or complaints with the engine, owners particularly like the low end punch and the sound, the 4 cyl turbo can be too quiet.
