You could say that ;)
I've been to Sweden 3 times (going again next week) and don't recall ever seeing an MDX or Pilot. I'll make a point to keep an eye out for 'em next week.
CR-V ratings have absolutely nothing to do with MDX ratings. That's like saying since GM's minivans get crappy ratings a Saab is somehow suspect.
As for side airbags, to me there's a simple retort. The more recently designed 9-3 has them, and studies are showing that they do reduce injuries in crashes. Why would Saab, who focuses so much on safety in their designs, not include them if they work? So the guy decided he'd like them for the kiddies in the back seat. This decision apparently offends you. Why?
Fair points on AWD & snow tires. We agree. My point is, people reacted negatively to the fact that he wanted an AWD vehicle. Why? I've driven a CR-V in the snow, and I gotta tell you it beats the living crap out of my 9-5 (all seasons on both).
As for the "bottom line" being that MDXs aren't safer than the 9-5, well I just don't think we can definitively state that. The MDX is the top rated midsize luxury SUV, the 9-5 is the top rated midsize luxury sedan. SUVs tend to fair better (as someone else posted) overall, so make your own decision. But please don't feel the need to rip on some guy who happened to make a different one than you.
