It's the same block (a block that was tuned up to 1000HP by GM at one point, in a Cavalier I believe) but SAAB has replaced many of the stock bits to make the engine much better. The article mentions this.
I think the main complaint when they list the pros and cons of the 9-3SS convertible is that it doesn't offer the power of some of the competitors, not that it's an engine that will fail or have mechanical issues. SAAB has been working miracles with 4 cylinders for a while now - I know - I drive a Viggen.
