Wow!!! What year was that? Do you have any videos? Just to jog people's memories ... The middle picture here is from the advert: <http://www.nospam.com/features/saab_900/saab_ads/saab_ads_1985.php> That advert was tacked to the beginning of a 'Top Gear' (UK car programme) article about the 9-5 IIRC. That was a memorable article, since the presenter Jeremy Clarkson described SAAB owners as Dentists and Architects and 'having "that" grin' ... It is available online ... Somewhere.
