In what regard is that car a "Saab"? Same factory? Same IP? Certainly doesn't look like same designer.

Sold by the same corporate entity that produced the vehicles branded as SAAB, albeit under a new owner.
I don't want to get into the "grandfather's axe"-level semiotics argument, but if most of the people who worked at Saab in 2010 no longer work there, and the car is made in a different factory in China, it doesn't make much difference to me that there's a piece of paper that says it's the "same company". I just don't know if either of those things is true.
I don't know about the people, but they are still using the same factory.
