Saab competes with other imports (Japanese and European), so the exchange-rate hit they take will be across the board for all makers. If Saab moves production to the US, they might lower the cost but ultimately lose out if quality declines.
If they're smart they may begin decontenting models to make them more affordable - you get the Saab marque without paying for the bells and whistles that you didn't want in the first place. Also, try improving fuel economy (or get it back to what it was a few years ago) so that ownership cost is lower.
If they looked at this as an opportunity instead of a downfall, they could come out ahead.
