Could be wrong, but from what I've read:
-They're all built on the same global Episilon platform.
-They all use some form of the same Eco-whatever engine in various NA, supercharged, or in Saabs case turbocharged form
-Different sheet metal
-Different suspension tuning
-Different interiors
-Trannys? And gearing? I think they're model specific.
It seems like I also read somewhere that Saab had more influence than the rest in the design of the ancillary enqine equipment as well.
and well...hmm.
Good question. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
