I would tend to agree with you, but Saab has done EXTENSIVE research on real life crashes over the past 30 years or so of their cars, and their safety feature are supposedly based largely on those findings. Saab has investigated the causes-and-effects of thousands of accidents involving their cars.
With that said, the only Saab that has had column mounted ignition in the last 25 years (that I know of) is the 9000. The 9-3, 9-5, NG900, and C900 all have it. What about the 99? Does anyone know when the floor mounted ignition began? If this change was made after the real life safety investigations began, then this change could actually be saving people's knees.
Regardless, it is ergonomically superior. :-)
