the Saab 9-5 2.0L engines aren't imported to North America.
Engines are engines, if the assembly line can make one 230HP engine, they can make more, the question is whether the NA market is large enough for Saab/GM to justify a larger production line for the 230HP engines instead of cranking out 2.0L for other markets. This is a resource allocation issue versus the potential market for a base 9-5 with 230HP engine.
