There have been talks about SAAB AB not letting NEVS use the Saab brand name on future cars for a while now but this report from respected automotive publication Automotive News sounds pretty definite.

Hopefully there will be an official statement from either NEVS or SAAB AB soon so this uncertaintity about the Saab brand for cars can be put to rest for once and for all. And perhaps have an official ending for the brand which ended for many Saab enthusiasts on 19 December 2011 with the bankruptcy of Saab's previous owner Swedish Automobile.

Quote from the Automotive News article:

Saab AB withdrew NEVS' right to use the Saab name two years ago after NEVS sought protection from creditors. NEVS was never granted the use of the Saab AB's iconic griffin badge and developed its own Saab logo.

Saab AB reaffirmed that NEVS will not be allowed to use the Saab name. "We have revoked their right to use the brand name" and there is no longer a discussion about NEVS using it, Saab AB spokesman Sebastian Carlsson told Automotive News Europe.
