Clear Lenses - Why don't Saab & Mercedes have them?

It seems that nowadays every car manufacturer in the world from Saturn to Honda to BMW to Volvo use clear headlight lenses. Why do Saab and Mercedes still use the traditional set-up? Is there a safety concern? I think that clear headlight lenses make a vehicle look much sharper. Also, why do Volvo and Saab not offer HID or Xenon headlights? I thought they dramatically improve vision during night time driving. Thanks for any insight.
