Of The Saab and the Volvo S80 is THE SAFEST CARS EVER TESTED by EuroNCAP!! You cannot compare the different classes in the EuroNCAP test. ALSO, the reason for Saab and Volvo to "only" have 4 stars is, that back in '99 when they were tested, 4 stars was maximum. The ONLY reason for Merc to get 5 stars is that they've upgraded the car with optical and acustic warning for seatbelts, something Saab has had for years and years! Cheers!
