Right now the car I drive most is my dad's 2000 Lincoln Town car, and I just don't feel like it's a very safe car. For one thing it only has a 4 star rating in the EASY NHTSA front crash test and only a 4 star rating in the side crash test, and it NEVER was tested in the front offset test, but if it ever was I'm sure it would have gotten a marginal or poor rating. The Lincoln Town car also just feels like it would be very bad at accident avoidance because of its poor acceleration, poor braking, poor cornering, etc, etc. If that wasn't bad enough, the Lincoln Town Car has a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE fuel tank position in the opinion of most experts, the fuel tank is located BEHIND the rear axle, the same is true for the Mustang, Crown Victoria, and Grand Marquis(has Ford learned NOTHING from the Pinto?). I was just wondering if the Volvo S80 and the Saab 9-5(2002-2005) have center fuel tanks(a tank located between the rear axle and front axle) or if they have a rear fuel tank(a tank located behind the rear axle). I'm going to be getting my first car eventually and I want to make sure that it has a center fuel tank, and not a rear fuel tank.
