Spyker Wants Saab to Build a Compact Car




Saab’s owner, Dutch sports car maker Spyker Cars, wants the Swedish brand to build a new, small model as iconic as BMW’s Mini. In order to accomplish that, Spyker needs Saab to raise the necessary money and to find a development partner, Spyker chief executive Victor Muller stated.

Quote from the article:
“It has to be a real Saab,” the official was quoted as saying by just-auto.com. He made clear he would like to expand Saab's line-up into the compact segment, with something smaller than the 9-3. "The Saab 9-2 is clearly on the forefront of our priorities," Muller added. The model would also have to stand out sharply from the other cars in the segment. However, the official emphasized that to build such a car Saab would need substantial new capital and also a partner with whom to design and produce it.
