I don/t know when or even if SAAB changed the bumper ratings, but the federal law changed in 1982. It was lowered from 5mph to 1.5mph rear and 2.5mph front, with unlimited damage allowed to the bumper, but no damage to surrounding area, like lights, etc.
The whole tone of the safety standards has changed over the years to now be protect the dumb a.. driver and their passengers, no matter how incompetent they are. This is why cars weigh 4,000 lbs. & cost 15 grand & up, instead of the 2,000 lbs. & 2grand they cost before regulations.
Yes I am OLD and grumpy today<g>
