It's just a 9-5 and not a 9-3. The 9-5 is recommend by CR for safety as well as reliability. Modern cars are so good that even the poorly rated ones are way better than the best were 10 years ago. CR has an article that points out that many of the more reliable brands reliability ratings have peaked and the lesser tier of reliability is still improving.
To offset any perceived lack of reliabiity the Saab compensates with superior safety, superior power as in turbo torque, free scheduled maintenance and Swedish feel and style particularly as in regards to the handling. There are many criteria to measure cars by and CRs reliability ratings are only one aspect.
For the "average" person a TSX may indeed be the better car. How do you feel about aspiring to be average?
