How come Volvo isnīt safer than SAAB i reality? (According to the swedish ensurance (spelling?) company Folksam www.folksam.se ) BTW, the seats was safer against whiplash 10 years ago, when the seats was weaker and collapsed in a crash. So maybe those new "high/low"-tech construktions only will get us to the safety we had 10 years ago. The good thing is that you can buy a new "hightech" car and believe that you are much safer in it. Isnīt it a fantastic world ? ;-) /Edmund cagenicknopsamail.com skrev i meddelandet <775mcq$k1a$1nopsam1.dejanews.com>... >The Volvo WHIPS system is far superior to the SAHR system >that Saab uses.
