Millions of cars don't have ebrakes on front wheels...I don't think they're any less safe than the saab. And OG900 88> have rear wheel ebrakes...it's really just a choice. IMHO the brakes on the 88> are superior to the pre-88's anyway, so one could argue the rear braked car is MORE safe.
One advantage of front wheel ebrake is the ability to move the car on ice or sand with an open diff and a spinning front wheel....pull up on the brake (push in the button) and hit the gas at the same time....the brake slows the spinning/slipping wheel and transfers torque through the diff to the other wheel. It's gotten me out of the sand more than once!
