i agree with Deans explanation... simplicity.
im sure the engineers coudl have easily pulled more power out of the 6 if they had wanted to... also, it may only have 200hp, but the torque is 229 and the torque comes on quicker than an NA car and stays peaked for a long time, unlike an NA car.. HP numbers alone are misleading, it was decently powerful. i think the cost cutting ideas nixed the 6, not saying the 6 was magnificent by any means, but it wasnt the worst design either. as saab concentrates on fewer engines maybe reliability can increase as well.
