Why can't Saab/GM see the light for the 9-5 ?

Why don't Saab put the current Aero engine in all base 9-5s ? The extra cost of using the Aero engine cannot be that much more. The current 2.3L LPT is 99% of the 2.3L HO Aero engine.
If Saab can put the 230HP engine in a 9-5 base model without the premium package and I can guarantee the cars would literally be flying out dealers' doors at MSRPs and take away business from the 3 and 5 series.
Then reprogramme that T-7 computer and put in better breathing for a real Aero, something like 270-300HP and 300-350 lb-ft torque as proven by many aftermarket tuners.
Please, please, please, Saab/GM do this before your project on 4-wheel drive and SUV and I will be your loyal customer.
