Crash test ratings don't directly translate into real safety. Saabs are generally safer than other cars with the same results from crash testing. That's because Saabs are designed to be safe in real crashes and as a consequence just happen to do well in tests, whereas other cars are designed to do well in just the limited scenarios that are tested.
So if you get in a crash that's not exactly the same angle of impact, off-set and at exactly 64 kph, then you can't be sure to benefit from that "4 star rating" the Accord/camry or whatever got.
This shows in real life statistics, where Saabs have been at the top consistently and outperforming other cars that have gotten the same scores at EURONCAP etc.
