2004 9-5 has head and chest side bags in the front, not curtains. What Saab has now is what Volvo had in 99-01 and phased out in 02 models for the side curtains.
The "Safest Car on the Road in Sweden" looks like it is based on injury rates, not crash tests. The type of person who drives the car influences these results.
IIHS.org -> 99-01 9-5 is average in the offset crash
02- 9-5 is much improved, but other cars still do better
Just my opinion... Matt (2000 9-5)
