Real crash statistics (whether in Sweden or the U.S.) are misleading due to the driver/car relationship. I was referring only to the offset crash test results from IIHS, not the accompanying HLDI statistics.
1999-2001 9-5 (average)
http://www.iihs.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/98021.htm
2002- 9-5 (much better)
http://www.iihs.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/0208.htm
1995-1998 900 (scary)
http://www.iihs.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/95017.htm
Later model years of the 9-5 perform much better in the offset crash, and I can certainly accept that they are AMONG the safest cars on the road. This does not hold true for the earlier 9-5 models.
The 900 you mention performs poorly. I own a 2000 9-5 (and love it!), but I would not drive a 900.
