Although I think that GM should've put more $$$ into product earlier (maybe a 9-3 or a 9-5 AWD option two years ago, or a Saab SUV ala the Volvo SUV), overall GM's acquisition was a good thing.
Realize that 9-5's were when they first came up seen as sacriligous to the Saab faithful who demanded that it have a hatchback like the old 9000. And the early 900 convertibles were seen as sacriligous by the faithful because Saab didnt' do convertibles (and now it accounts for something like 1/3 of their sales?). Each new Saab model has greatly increased in sales, and the influence of having a 4 door passenger car like the 9-5, or like the new 9-3 SS, shows GM's market wisdom, even if some might complain.
