Saab officials are increasingly confident that Sweden's Trollhattan plant will have a long-term future as a manufacturer of niche models for General Motors Europe.
Trollhattan will build Saabs until 2010, but Jan-Ake Jonsson, who became managing director in April, said the plant could play an important role for GM Europe after that date.
"Give us time to develop plans for the years thereafter," Jonsson said. "GM has already shown confidence by letting us produce the Cadillac BLS."
