An episode of Wallender on BBC a few days ago. The two uniform cops got into a Volvo. The interior shot showed them driving a Saab  ::)

There is a Saab that is the second family car in the film 'Orphan' (2009) and it does some good opposite-lock stuff while racing to get home in snow near the end.
Not a bad film.

OK, I know this is headed "Saabs on Film", not on TV like over on another place.
A few days ago I lost a minute of my life forever - a quiz show called Red or Black, the final 8 (or was it 4?) contestants were ferried from an outside location back to the studio in a small fleet of new 9-5s. Seeing the cars was the highlight of the minute.

Hi Trenchfoot, what I meant was, what did you hope nobody was going to point out? I thought it was that you might have watched Red and Black more than once.

Nah - I knew it existed but wasn't going to point out a site listing films with SAABs in and spoil the thread. To be honest I haven't really looked at the site other than to see what was there.   ::)
