I do agree that Jimmmy's comment was slightly overstated. The problem associated with the V-6 are mostly attributed to the previous V-6 in the NG900. It had some timing belt and head gasket issues; if anyone remember's, Saab picked up the tab on replacment timing belts on those engines.
Granted, these two engines are closely related, but what I've seen so far, the newer V-6 is nothing like the previous. The 900 6-cyl cars started showing slight problems while the cars were still under warranty. We haven't seen these problems near as often in the 9-5. We know that Saab 'faded a lot of heat' over those engines, therefore they would certainly think twice before putting another engine with potential for problems into a current body style.
I know that only time will tell, but I feel confident in the current setup.
