I have a video that was posted on the newsgroups here while back, that was filmed over seas I believe? It is an older Saab maybe a 99, and actually it held up very well. If anyone is interested in it, email me and I will be glad to send it to you. Also about a year ago someone posted some pics of wrecked Saabs in junkyards. I wish I had downloaded them and saved them, its hard to believe how well the passenger compartment holds up. Really impressive!! My wife wrecked my 85 900 T when an Altima pulled in front of her. The Saab would have probably not had any body damage at all had the Altama's passenger compartment not collapsed around my Saabs front end. I'm still driving the Saab back and forth to work. That is also why I bought her a 94 9000CSE.
