Saab may be back next summer

Saab could be back in production by next summer, according to the brand's current owners.

A petrol-powered 9-3 is under consideration, National Electric Vehicle Sweden told Automotive News Europe.

NEVS is owned by Hong Kong and Japanese business interests and bought the brand earlier this year after bankruptcy in 2011.

The majority shareholder, Hong Kong-based National Modern Energy Holdings, had originally envisaged restarting the brand with an electric car.
