The 9K shared its platform with Alfa/Fiat/Lancia. It was a joint venture.
According to the book, "The Saab-Scania Story," both Lancia Group and Saab-Scania needed a partner to reduce and share development costs for the upscale models both companies were developing. Sten Wennlo, Sten Gustafson, and Marcus Wallenberg of Saab-Scania met in Geneva with Giovanni Agnelli (head of Lancia). They talked 15 minutes and started the 5-year collaboration on a handshake. The deal had the benefit of having the design come from the pen of Giorgetto Guigiaro, Lancia's design chief.
This is a far ways from taking a Chevy truck and putting some Saab tweaks and features on it.
