Lots of buyers aren't interested in the details of the true safety record, but they're convinced by the "feeling of safety" they get from a big vehicle.
But to play devil's advocate, I hope someone knows more about the safety ratings than I do. Test scores reflect how the car holds up in a collision WITH A SIMILARLY SIZED CAR, right? I don't think they account for a Saab hitting a Suburban. So there's still a safety advantage (for yourself) in a bigger vehicle.
I hope the 'real life' safety design in Saabs is better than just designing them for the test. I kinda think that's true.
