No.  It's already been established it's a Saab concept by Trevor Fiore but it has a name which is needed for the point.

The name I was looking for was actually the name of the project of which this was said to be part.
However none of the pictures I'm seeing now include that, so I'm beginning to wonder if my source was not right...
I'll look into it as far as I can and see if it's right or not.

Well, I had it as part of the Saab X14 project (Saab 98 Combi-Coupé) but it seems that wherever I got that from (and I can't find it now) was not right.

I've therefore given mekubb the point and this is solved.
Sorry for any confusion.

As an ex-Saab product planner for many years with good internal Trollhattan design studio access, I know that the X14 project was the Ital Design fastback/hatchback rework of the rear of the Saab 95 estate, and not this Fiore proposal, if this helps.
