I listened in on the chat and they answered most questions fairly. The problem was there wasn't enough time (ONLY an hour) and people were asking MULTIPLE questions, or asking out of turn.
The best way to get answers from the Saab people is one-on-one at the conventions, auto shows, and test drives. Then it's more "off the record" type stuff (that they probably wouldn't be comfortable saying in a public chat).
As for the 210 hp engine... I can fully believe that it's not ready, because this happens to EVERY car manufacturer. Does BMW come out with the M3 engine when they release a new chassis? Does Audi come out with the S4 before the A4? No.
Saab is a small manufacturer which is good and bad. Good in that you can get to know all the people behind the cars (they're very friendly and willing to talk), bad in that they don't have a lot of resources and money.
And to answer your question, the 210 hp engine is NOT out on any market yet.
