back in 1999 the 9-5 came with a rear seat, but Saab quickly deleted it in the USA for fear of rear-impact injuries. I actually saw one or two for sale on Ebay at one time for the 9-5.
Actually the Volvo V70 did have one, but if you read the owners manual it says not recommended for on-road use.
Safety seems to be the problem with them, plus seat belt mechanisms, etc are costly for the mfgr to provide attachment points, etc for an option they only sell to a few people.
Nick.
