Some current Buick models are 100% Opel, even being built in Russelsheim. So calling the current TourX the closest anyone can come to driving a NG9-5SC may not be too much of a stretch.
I were/am to buy a TourX, I will be very tempted to replace some minor exterior trim pieces with their Opel equivalents, then place a 3D printed SAAB emblem atop the Opel pieces. And maybe a couple of NG9-5 logos on the car too.
