OK, admittedly I don't have a 9-4x but I do have the envy.
From previous reading on the 9-4x & SRX, the program for both was run by a Saab guy and there were quite a few design decisions made in deference to Saab, such as using the Haledex (sp?) AWD system vs. the a more stock GM one, and giving the whole platform (and hence the Caddy) more European style handling, and the Caddy actually launched with the turbo engine available (although they dropped it)... so while a lot of the auto news says the Saab is a re-badged Caddy, (doesn't help the Caddy launched much earlier), it could be argued it's really the other way around.
