A retro version of the new 92, if built, would be aimed at a fast-growing car segment for premium small cars, which includes BMW's Mini and the new Audi A1, which launches in Europe this summer.
"The 92 has to be the most stunning looking, the most ingenious and the most premium car. It has to undeniably be a Saab," Muller said.
Saab would choose a chassis platform from a bigger carmaker rather than make the investment for a car that would have a projected yearly production run of 30,000 to 60,000.
Asked whether Saab was in talks with Volkswagen or Hyundai Motor Co., likely platform partners, Muller said there were no talks with the Korean automaker and declined to comment further.
Muller said a new Saab 92 would be priced "about 10 percent more than a Mini," which starts at 16,600 euros in Germany.
Saab needs about $300 million to develop each new model and would have to secure financing as its current funds are already earmarked for planned models and upgrades.
