Like you, I am still pessimistic about how all this is going to resolve. I also agree with you about SAAB in the GM era- but the relentless attempts to homogenize the marque was predictable. After all, what did GM really lose by ditching Oldsmobile and Pontiac? Everything but the 9-5 and 9-3 is non-SAAB, as far as I am concerned, as well as the GM push to V6s.
A glance at the global automobile industry doesn't indicate a place for SAAB, except as part of some giant conglomerate....and that chance has pretty much passed.
