Road/Comparison test fantasies

You know, just once, I'd like to see all those high buck, quirky-quoting automotive journalists lately pontificating on Saab and the 9-3SS try some different sorts of "tests" of the car against the Usual Suspect competitors like the 3 Series, the A4, the IS300, S60 etc.
How about a winter storm test--driving them through some city streets and hilly roads with white stuff coming down at a few cm/hour. Using stock tires!
And a DIY test--how would the 9-3SS fare in an ease of oil change contest vs. the others? [one might predict the A4 would not come out on top in this one]
And there's several of those 'journalists' I wouldn't mind having at the wheel for a 50 kmph frontal impact crash test, or a rear-ender bash test;-). Might make them a little less flippant with their words?
Can you suggest any other "real world" tests? How do you think Saabs would hold up against all those oft-mentioned darlings of the auto press?
