Saab plans sports cars and small SUV

Saab may add a two-seat sports car to its lineup as part of its product expansion, according to a report in the coming week's Automotive News.

Saab will show a front-wheel-drive, 250hp V-6-powered concept for the potential new model at the Geneva auto show in March.

Svante Kinell, Saab's European product marketing business manager for the 9-3 and 9-5, also confirmed that Saab is developing a small SUV similar in size to the BMW X3.

The SUV will be called the 9-4X. Brian Byrne.
