Several of the items you mention are not SAAB sourced technology...
1. The current Saab engines are GM derivative designs not SAAB designs (and the 2.8 liter V6 is built in Australia). The V6 also uses a standard Bosch engine management system (as found on may other vehicles) vice the SAAB-designed Trionic system.
2. The XWD system is nothing but a next generation system designed by Haldex, not SAAB (and to be used on a number of new GM vehicles).
Saab turbocharging experience is legendary but many other manufacturers (Volvo, VW, etc.) also have years of experience with engine turbocharging.
Being realistic I don't see how SAAB could soldier on alone if GM decides to kill it. To many GM-sourced parts in the current generation of cars...
