Probably only a handful of people in the world know the complete heritage of the F35. But I'd be very suprised if it was designed and built from the ground up by SAAB. I have to laugh a bit when people say SAAB this and that. SAAB was/is always a tiny company that used many suppliers and shared platforms with other compaines long before GM. Their first 4 stroke (V-4) was bought from Ford and their second (slant 4) from Triumph/Standard. GM has owned SAAB for some time and I would guess the 9-3 Ecopower is as much GM's as SAAB's. And didn't GM essentially contracted the Eco____ out to Lotus anyway? I'm not knocking SAAB or the parts, but its not as if they came out of some entirely unrelated supplier like Porsche free of any GM influence. And as far as Getrag goes, don't forget all the Muncie/Getrags that GM built.

I have this odd feeling that they tranny for the Supra, and the Getrag in the Cobalt/Ion base models... are a touch different...
