I'm worried about SAAB losing it's soul, not it's name

I'm more concerned that Saab will lose it's perceived values (maybe it doesn't have any and that it's all perception! :p) Will it someday become just an Opel Vectra with the intent of fooling North Americans, who don't know how plain Opels are?
Or will Saab have two 9-3 versions, a rebadged Chevy Malibu for the European market and a rebadged Opel Vectra for the US/Canada market? Yuk!
There's a little bit of hope....the 9-3SS wasn't too bad as the first major non-Saab Saab, some cheapo areas, but some nice areas, and some very Saab things about it.
