SAAB chief Bob Hendry has dampened speculation that the Swedish manufacturer, now 100% owned by General Motors, would expand its line-up from the present two models - 9-3 and 9-5. He told Fleet NewsNet: 'One of the opportunities for Saab is not to expand its line-up but to offer more body styles within those line-ups.

'We are looking at several lines which are already in the General Motors family. There will be an expansion of those lines but I don't want to talk about specific models.'
