ABSOLUTELY NOT. The rear axle is NOT a lifting point, especially not in the middle. It is not designed to support the weight of the car, and if you lift there, there is a good chance you'll end up with a bent rear axle.
Saab was kind enough to put a rear lifting point in the back of the car - I'd suggest using it. There is a triagular shaped bit of metal just behind the gas tank - that's where your jack should go.
