The '03 9-3 will have side curtain airbags, according the press release. My guess is that this may be a running change in the next 9-5. It would seem that the head/torso side airbags in the front seats of SAABs provide a wider area of coverage and protection for the front passengers than do typical side airbag/side curtain setup found in other cars. As for why the rear passengers are treated second class, your guess is as good as mine. Statistically, they're safer in any type of crash anyway.
