GM needs Saab's (Sweden) overall engine frugality and turbo expertise now more than ever. They know that replacing this expertise from the outside would just compound their myriad problems in competing in a fuel conscious world, where they are significantly behind a number of major competitors, i. e. Toyota & Honda.
Hybrids, fuel cell, electric & others will eventually come into GM's product mix. But, for now, they still "gotta move the metal".
Several automotive news reports have already trumpeted GM's switch from V-8's to turbocharged 4's and V-6's, as they rapidly swing away from the gas guzling vehicles they have so long relied on.
GM may finally even appreciate what those Swedish engineers have been trying to do all these years...
