Exactly. I've still got my 2004 93 (the last of the Saab Saabs). It has been a fabulous car.

That's a GM platform car:

GM already had 50% controlling share of Saab way back in 1989 and by 2010 they were wholely owned by GM.

I had a 1998 Saab 93 (2L petrol LPT) and was initially disappointed to find out it used the same platform as the Vauxhall/Opel Vectra. That said it still had those distinct Saab design touches and was pretty damned good in the snow and ice.

Even the 900NG which the 9-3 derives from was a GM2900 platform car.

If you had one with the B204/B234 motor, and not the V6, then it still has a Saab engine.

Sure, but it's the whole package that matters.

Which was actually a Triumph engine, although extensively revised by Saab by that stage.

If Theseus’s Ship had an engine, it’d be the Saab B2x…:-)
