That's because the V6 is a GM engine, not a Saab one, the 4 cyl is a Saab engine, but by the looks of things, would still go in fine with a few bits of bent steel and some welding.

I think what he meant was the v6 is a vauxhall variant engine

The 4 cylinder is not a GM engine, it's a Saab engine, it was developed by Saab, not GM, even if Saab is owned by GM.
It was also ONLY used in Saab cars, not other GM models, unlike the V6.

That's brand new, you'd get a decent second hand one for about £700, not 4 grand
