The 2.0 turbo 4's in the new 9-3 are from GM's "Ecotec" line of engines. These engines are used in loads of GM cars, in different forms. Smaller displacement versions in Europe, 2.2 and 2.4 here in the states, and as the 2.0 turbo in the Saab. Also a 2.0 supercharged version in the Saturn Ion redline and Chevy Cobalt SS.
The new V6 they're talking about is also part of a GM line, called the "Alloytec". That's GM-speak for an all aluminum, DOHC V6 engine with variable valve timing and whatnot. Seen in 2.8 and 3.6l sizes, and now apparently as a 2.8 turbo for Saab.
So no, it's not exactly a "souped up Saturn engine", but neither is it a purely unique Saab engine like say the 2.3.
