A Saab on TV with some actor chap who also drove a GM900 in the series.

Presumably everyone saw the CS(E) in State of Play a couple of days ago? About twenty minutes into the episode when the cops were being delayed by Bill Nighy. Camera followed the car through the window so presumably this is important (I'm not very good at following these things). Better still, almost, a couple of moments before that there was the front end of a white 9k classic just like my old one (except that it had those hubcaps you only see on cars bought s/h).

I thought so too [/qb][/b][/quote]Well, I went to the cinema last night and saw the Nokia advert on the big screen and I am pretty sure that the car that is in it is a Saab 92.

BTW - I went to see The Matrix Reloaded and have to admit to looking out for Saabs during the entire 20min car chase

Another C900 piled in an accident in Casualty on Saturday night - storyline - driving like a maniac,pulls out to overtake an ambulance, swerves and then piles into a parked car ia petrol station. - seems TV producers have something against this classic model at present.

I'm guessing that they choose Saabs as they are so cheap but still exude quality. It will help develop the character of the driver as the viewer will have a preconception of a 'typical' Saab driver. Equally, the car will not automatically be viewed as accident fodder helping to keep the viewer engaged in the storyline.

Yes, he was a Ganster. escaping from court, and stealing the car. Didn't work out how to start it, but it was an Auto, and wouldn't start in gear, so the plot said. He told the copper who stopped to see if he was OK, he was driving his GF's car, because she was in hospital, and that is where he was going, because she was going to give birth. Got himself a police Escort.

Watched Grosse Pointe Blank the other night, one of my all-time favourites. Features a GM900 convertible in which John Cusack and Minnie Driver head off into the sunset at the end.

And there's a C900 convertible in High Fidelity, IIRC. Does this point toward John Cusack having a thing about Saabs?
