There were two 900s. The first one was a SAAB platform. The later one was based on Opel. That car was turned into the 9-3 later.

The second-gen 900 was a mish-mash of various Opel and Saab parts, but had Saab drivetrain, "wrap-around" wind-shield, rear-axle, etc. It developed into the first-gen 9-3.

The second-gen 9-3 was GM Epsilon-something-based and had GM drivetrain.

Yes that is right. I’ve always loved the first gen 900 since we had a three door one when I was a kid.
