In Family Guy you occasionally see animated Saabs.

Sorry for the thread resurrection... Someone mentioned Swedish dramas, how about a British/French adaptation of a Danish/Swedish thriller 'The Bridge' called 'The Tunnel' same plot  only different location/languages - the main antagonist is a c900 driver.

Watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation again recently and noticed that the Yuppie neighbours have a 9000.

Wednesday nights Midsomer Murders had a Saab 95 or 96 being worked on in the local garage. The nearside front wing was a different colour to the rest of the car, dark blue with the rest of the bodywork being beige.

Surprised no one has mentioned 'The Fly' with very young Geoff Goldblum and Geena Davies. She drives a 99  8)

Not really Saabs on film but this was once the late great Victoria Wood's Saab 900, purchased from her by and old acquaintance of mine.

Watching some "comedy" on the Dave channel on Sunday night, the ad breaks included one for a breakdown service (might have been an advert for a Which? magazine review) and used a Dame Edna 9-5 as the broken motor.

Sad. This kind of ad usually de-identifies the make of car.

Saabs on TV - crime drama "DCI Banks" this week - a 9-3SS was used to kidnap one of the main characters. Number plate was obscured - as villains do - so couldn't do a check on DVLA !

Well, sort of on film - Youtube.

This is no way to treat a 9-3SS. Idiot.

Nice c900T16 convertible in "In The Dark" episode 2. On BBC at the moment on iPlayer. Has naff wheel arch trim things though - always assume they are hiding rust.. 9 mins and 53 secs in. Appears later too.
