The center mudflaps have been used by Saab for nearly 30 years. The stem from, as others have mentioned, Saabs rallying heritage, inorder to protect the rear suspension, brakes, and exhaust from mud and rocks.
GM has only been involved with Saab since 1991, and only 100% involved in the last 3-4 years.
The NG900 is based on an Opel platform, the Vectra or Omega I think. I have never heard or read any documentation about the Chevette platform, unless the Chevette platform tooling was sent to Europe to produce platforms for Opel. GM does own Opel however, hence the connection.
