Saab needs these vehicles so quickly, they're only going to be able to do the lightest facelift they can afford (in terms of time and $$$). So they won't be platform sharing, they'll be using the true GM pattern of taking identical cars and simply rebadging.
Cars based on Opel platforms, or true GM internal car/truck platform sharing, I don't have a problem with. These slapdash moves to get inventory onto the sales floor will backfire big time. If I want a Scooby or a GM SUV, I can go out right now at lunch and buy one.
