That's why a lot of people (including myself) regard the pre-1993 9000's as 'classic' 9000's (ie. C9000's), much like the pre-1994 900's (except for the commemerative 1994 convertible) as 'classic' 900's (ie. C900's). With the 9000's it's more of an 'administrative' division, unlike the C900's and NG900's which are clearly completely different cars from the ground up. >FWIW, I seem to recall that GM bought an interest in SAAB in the late >80's but did not obtain a controlling interest until the early 90's >sometime. Well Saab's have used GM parts well before GM ever expressed any interest - the power steering units are a GM product and the purely mechanical ones (surprising that this was actually an option in some markets!) probably were a GM product as well.
