BMW expanded 3-5-7 to 1-3-5-7 but reduced platform count from 3 to 2: 1 and 3 share a platform, 5 and 7 share the other. Something similar to it probably will happen to Saab too.
IMHO, most (if not all) platforms will be shared with other manufacturers, from GM platforms to perhaps BMW's new FWD platforms in addition to engines . . . thereby making it possible to develop multiple skin kits within limited budget. As the carmaking industry moving toward modularization with regard to drive train and chasis components, Saab may just be able to carve out a living by riding on someone else' (make that multiple someone elses') economy of scale.
