@Carfreak1177 SAAB / Volvo / Benz cars of the era were so much stronger than the cars they were striking that the other cars serves as extensions to their crumple zones.
Example:
watch?v=NQPca-aTlL0
A '90s Volvo rear-ending a normal car (Opel) @ very high speed( 109 KM/h [ ~65mph] ).
This SAAB is no longer as safe given the added strength of the cars it will likely impact.
They are still considered very strong in the sides, however. Bust most especially Volvos.
Well, this is just a normal result of a crash test during the early 90´s, nothing surprising or shocking

@raihol Yes but you would have expected more from a saab, even these models have low death ratings so somehow its safe
