{{Short description|Swedish car prototype}}thumb| Saab 98 in the Saab Museum|alt= The '''Saab 98''' was an automobile built by Saab in 1974 which never reached full production. Originally it was called X14, designed by Björn Envall as a combi coupé based on the Saab 95 and using its floorpan. The prototype was assembled by Sergio Coggiola, who had already done work on the Saab Sonett III. thumb|Side view Only a handful of test cars were built up to 1976 before the project was abandoned when Saab decided there was no room in the market for a car between the Saab 95 and Saab 99.<ref>[http://www.griffinmodels.com/the-saab-way/the-saab-way-1976.html "The SAAB Way"] by Gunnar A.
