General Motors said on Sunday it would evaluate several new expressions of interest for its Swedish unit Saab, including a fast-track bid from thwarted Dutch suitor Spyker Cars.
Spyker Cars' renewed approach came just two days after last-ditch talks with GM over a rescue of the loss-making Swedish manufacturer collapsed.
On its website, GM said that since Friday's announcement that it would start the orderly wind-down of Saab, it had received inquiries from several parties.
"We will evaluate each inquiry. We will not comment further until these evaluations have been completed," GM said in a statement.
Abandoning the 60-year-old Swedish auto brand would eliminate 3,400 jobs in Sweden and drop 1,100 Saab dealers.
Spyker said on Sunday it has submitted a renewed offer including an 11-point proposal addressing issues that arose during the due diligence process.
"We're very confident we have put forward a proposal that can convince GM in time," Spyker Cars Chief Executive Victor Muller told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"The jury's still out. We will see what happens next."
