My theory: I think if you look at the nose of all Saabs, the way the hood merges with the fenders, and windshield shape, etc are all focused on safety. The nose of the car and the low hood line act like a scoop to quickly elevate objects that you hit like moose, deer, etc. Then the reinforced A-pillars and windshield design act like a brickwall and combine to send the object over the car rather than through it.
Just a theory, though. :o)
