Interestingly, further research indicates the Alfa Romeo 147 and Saab 9-3X may both be Bertone designs (although some sources indicates Pininfarina for the Alfa).
If the Alfa 147 is (will be) the same platform as the 9-3/9-3X, and the Alfa 156 is (will be) the same platform as the 9-5, some extremely interesting speculation could follow.
Its also very interesting to note the 8/13/2001 Autoweek article, which states Alfas will "...go on sale that year [2005] in dealerships shared with Saab and Cadillac."
If Saab and Alfa will have models that are built on the same platform, and are to be sold out of the same showrooms, it is very unclear what the market differentiation features will be.
If only there wasn't such a shortage of crystal balls...
