My understanding was that Einar Hareide was the design lead for the og9-3, 9-5, and the initial 9-3ss, but that there was a fair bit more GM involvement in the ss... Hareide worked alongside Bjorn Envall on the ng900, and of course, he was the designer of the c900 and worked alongside Sixten Sason on the 99... then Mauer and Lo got parachuted in by GM and connections to the past seemed to get lost with concepts like the 9-X...
There was a clear mandate from someone (at GM) though to make the 9-3ss more "A4-like" than the og9-3... that shows up in the design cues in addition to the sedan shape, so I don't disagree with you in that regard...
