I think the Saab engineers have a bit more scruples than you might think. Take, for instance, the failed sport utility vehicle they had on the drawing board. GM was putting pressure on them to use the same platform that they use for the pontiac aztek and buick rendezvous. The Saab guys apparently appalled that they'd be forced to put the Saab logo on the monstrosity that would inevitably result, tabled the sport utility option.
I admit I run hot and cold on the new 9-3, and hearing there'll be no coupe soured me even more. But when I read that story about them refusing to put anything Saab on that abysmal sport ute design, it cheered me a bit.
