Agreed. Saab's downfall was similar to Saturn's—GM thought it would be a great idea to keep tons of extra brands around without making sure each brand had some level of uniqueness to it. Saturn and Saab both used to have their own cars, but eventually they just became yet more brands to sell boring Epsilon-platform cars. And how about the Saab 9-2X and 9-7X? Those were the most blatant rebadgings ever and were probably insulting to long-time Saab customers.
