We're now driving an '04 9-5 Arc wagon, our third 9-5 wagon. Never wrecked one, but wife t-boned a sled ('83 Buick Riviera) in our 1990 9000S at about 45 mph. The SAAB performed exactly as it was supposed to, crumpled right back to the firewall. My wife had three bruises: one on the front of each hip from the seatbelt, and one over her left collarbone from the shoulder belt. She had abrasions up the inside of each forearm from the airbag. Other than that, she was fine & dandy....they had to force her down onto the stretcher because she was trying to check out the other guy, who ended up with some fairly serious surgery. Had no belt on, and the Riviera was -twisted- which is pretty impressive for that much iron. That was 25 years into SAAB ownership, and it merely reinforced our confidence in the construction and safety features.
