I bought my Saab before the "GMification." However, the new 9-3 Sport Sedan is pretty nice. The Epsilon platform is just that, a platform. There is suspension bits and other parts that then make it a chassis. The Malibu, Opel Vectra, and 9-3 do not share the same chassis.

I don't like seeing GM logos all over the new 9-3, but it is still a Saab built in Sweden. Unfortunately, the 9-7 will be a rebadged Chevy Trail Blazer. That is a horrible mistake. Less of a mistake will be the 9-2 (or 9-1) which will be a rebadged WRX.

Hopefully the 9-3 Sport Sedan is not the last Saab that is still a Saab.
