The white screen
The 200 appears in films regularly. In television commercials for the Volvo S80, Verkade Sultana cookies and McDonald's, but even in films it is not unusual to watch a 200 acting. I really cannot give a complete picture of all the appearances of the 200, but some of the more memorable parts I will mention to you.
