As far as I know GM did not monkey around with the Saab 4-cylinder engine in the 9000. (They did force Saab to offer a lousy V6 as an option but that's another story.)
General Motors bean counters applied their "value engineering" techniques to to the engine when the models based on GM platforms debuted. The Saab-Scania era engines are very durable. I don't know how the GM-modified engines do in comparison but I suspect they are more trouble-prone and probably won't wear as well at high mileage.
