SAAB Doesn't want 3rd Row Either

I remember reading regarding the 9-6X that SAAB doesn't want the third row of seats either as it would be located in a "crumple zone". SAAB refuses to sacrifice safety for seating.
But if that's the case, what's the point of an SUV which seats only 5?
Couple this with the diesel issue, and that's why I read the 9-6X was dropped by SAAB.
However, I read that the as of yet un-named "crossover" vehicle partnership between SAAB and Subaru is still on as well as SAAB providing input on the next gen Subaru Impreza WRX, with designs on using it as the 9-2X again.
