The safety features of a Saab are the same in the U.S. as they are in Europe. I'm 99% sure the emissions are as well. Europe over the last decade or so have taken a harder line on enviormental issues. For example Euro Saabs run on unleaded gas.
The biggest difference is the standard equipment level of the cars. The US cars have a much higher level of standard equipment. The standard equipment level also varies in each Euro market. Some of this is driven by market conditions, some by tax issues. In Sweden for example the buyer pays tax on the value of the car as it arrived from the factory. Any accessory the dealer installs is not subject to the tax. So in Sweden, the radio is an option.
