In my experience, these cars with smaller side windows (especially rear) seem to have ever decreasing visibility lines for the driver. This goes against the safety principles Saab is known for. Years ago, there was actually a Saab headrest with a big hole in it to see through to increase visibility!
Actually our C900's fantastic visibility saved it + my driving record today: I did a far too casual blindspot check and I nearly switched lanes into a camry that was driving in my blindspot! I luckily caught it anyway + corrected before crossing the line...
