Saabs : you can find similars stories everywhere with any car . 3-My girlfriend was involved in an accident on a winding road in Southern California : frontal collision with a 98 Toyota Camry : well she ended up in the hospital with 2 broken legs and broken ribs and the driver of the Toyota Camry came to rescue her because she couldn't get out the car . After talking with the firefighters , they brought up the fact that Saab don't perform particulary well in crashes And believe me, they see a lot of crashes in LA...) I'll get a Volvo any day !!!!!!!!
