vectra platform...which was pretty unsophisticated. Opel stopped using it in 94 and had a new platform, so saab was on the tail end. Hence the need for the aftermarket Viggen Rescue Kit to make the Viggen handling acceptable. Really lousy platform, even with SAAB's trying to fix the problems originally.
The 9-5 is built on the 'new' vectra platform (as is the Opel/Vauxhall Vectra and the Saturn LS. Much better platform; more rigid.
9-5, as was said, is larger than the 9-3.
The next 9-3 will be built on the GM epsilon platform which is supposed to be very good. No hatchback in the next 9-3, tho.
